Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is headlining a frenzied first full day of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, where top officials from the United States, the European Union, China, the Middle East and beyond will also take center stage Tuesday.

Zelensky will endeavour to keep his country's long and largely stalemated defence against Russia on the minds of political leaders, just as Israel's war with Hamas, which passed the 100-day mark, has siphoned off much of the world's attention.

Conversations with prime ministers of Qatar and Jordan will bookend the day's most visible events, with speeches by Chinese Premier Li Qiang, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the US national security adviser Jake Sullivan in between.
