We Spoke to 6 Leaders in Davos About Russia’s War in Ukraine

While speaking about the war in Ukraine, Vitali Klitschko, Mayor of Kyiv, said <i>“Today is 11 months of the war and we calculated, just in our hometown 645 times the alarm, the bombing alarm. It means everyone, every citizen has to go to the shelter. If we put all the times together, it's every citizen in our hometown spent one month in bunkers underground, one month of their lives.” </i> He also mentioned,<i> “It’s the biggest mistake to think the war is far away from you, it doesn’t touch you personally. This war can touch everyone, not just in Europe, everyone in the world. Please don't not forget, Ukraine has five nuclear plants. One of them just a couple of weeks ago, was on fire.” </i> Watch the full video to know what other leaders in Davos 2023 expressed about the war in Ukraine.
