The World Economic Forum, a shadowy organization headed by billionaire Klaus Schwab, has officially severed ties with all Russian entities and individuals over the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict.
“We are not engaging with any sanctioned individual and have frozen all relations with Russian entities,” spokesperson Amanda Russo told Politico this week.
Among these sanctioned individuals would be the President of Russia himself, Vladimir Putin, whose history with the WEF is well known.
Putin and his colleagues have spoken at Schwab’s events in Davos, Switzerland at least five times from 2007 to 2021.
Alongside prominent Western leaders such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Putin was previously listed as a participant of Schwab’s controversial Young Global Leaders program.
Schwab had once told Putin that Russia was of “particular importance” in international events, and had even said that Putin’s voice was “essential.”
However, by cutting ties with Russia, the WEF and Schwab appear to have emphasized their pro-Ukrainian stance.
Thus, Schwab appears to be solidifying the position taken by NATO nations, Western multinational corporations, as well as financial institutions, of which have pledged full support to the Eastern European country in the face of what the Russian Federation has called a “special military operation” to protect the people of Donbass.
Ukraine and its international supporters, including the government of the United States, have branded the conflict as an unprovoked “all out invasion” by Russia.
The WEF has come under scrutiny recently, after videos of Schwab admitting that his organization has been “penetrating” high-level positions in western governments in order to usher in his “Great Reset” resurfaced online.
Ideology of @wef is a direct threat to American way of life. Not enough conservatives calling it out by name yet.

The Great Reset, once falsely claimed by “fact checkers” to be some sort of “conspiracy theory,” is understood by many to be a “reset” of global economics to replace the current system with a totalitarian global state.
Concerns with the Great Reset include the ideas of population control, high-tech invasive surveillance, a global social credit system, and the calculated destruction of economies to usher in world government in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Schwab’s rebuttal of Putin could be compared to Hungarian billionaire George Soros’ recent condemnation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, who he called “the greatest threat that open societies face today.”
Like Schwab, Soros has previously bragged about the influence that he and his organization, Open Society Foundations, have over nations, and at one point discussed “the ‘Soros Empire’ replacing the Soviet Empire” with respect to Ukraine.

This comes as Russian-Chinese relations appear to continue to grow closer amid growing conflict in Ukraine.
Should Russia’s endeavors in Ukraine prove successful, followed by a possible Chinese military incursion into Taiwan, the West – particularly the United States – appears to be facing a real risk of losing its hegemonic global status.
The developments, some have said, could serve as an indication that global western elites are concerned that a period of intense Sino-Russian cooperation is on the horizon, and are posturing themselves accordingly.
