Does she meet Alain Berset?
Ukrainian First Lady Olena Selenska speaks at the WEF
The WEF presented its list of participants on Tuesday – and kept a low profile when it came to the Ukrainian delegation. Blick has now learned that Olena Selenska will give a speech at a WEF event.

The big names were missing when the WEF leadership around founder Klaus Schwab (84) presented the list of participants and the most important topics of this year’s edition on Tuesday.
The public waited eagerly for news about the Ukrainian delegation – in vain. “I cannot disclose the names of the entire Ukrainian delegation for security reasons,” said WEF President and former Norwegian Foreign Minister Børge Brende (57) cryptically.
Olena Selenska speaks about reconstruction
In particular, it is unclear whether the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (44) will give a virtual speech like last year – or possibly even travel there himself. As Blick has now learned, the Ukrainian First Lady Olena Selenska (44) is definitely speaking in Davos GR.
She will appear on Tuesday night at a cocktail event on the sidelines of the WEF, which is about the reconstruction of Ukraine. The event is organized by the software company Palantir.
Does she meet Alain Berset?
Striking: On Tuesday of all days there was a gap in the official WEF program. The organizers announce a speaker in the program – without naming a name. It is clear that it must be a top-class guest. Will Olena Selenska appear on the program at short notice?
The speech takes place immediately after the opening of the WEF by Klaus Schwab and Federal President Alain Berset (50). If Olena Selenska really is hiding behind the mysterious gap in the program, her path will inevitably cross with that of Alain Berset.
The organizers of the WEF do not want to officially confirm Olena Selenska’s participation at Blick’s request.
