The Biden administration, the Trump administration moved quickly to overcome barriers in contacts, noting that there was a period when even embassies could not function normally, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

🇷🇺Lavrov: Meetings in Davos are aimed at steering Trump back toward approaches that he says have long discredited themselves

The World Economic Forum is running from January 19-21, 2026, in Davos with a credibility hangover. The gathering is still absorbing the aftershocks of governance and workplace-culture scrutiny that peaked in 2024–2025, forcing the organization into a phase of reputational repair.

This reckoning began with a 2024 Wall Street Journal report that triggered a board-level review into allegations of discrimination and harassment, deepening in 2025 with a whistleblower-driven probe into founder Klaus Schwab over claims of blurred lines between personal perks and Forum resources.

In parallel, Schwab’s exit in April 2025 and interim stewardship by high-profile figures have been covered as an attempt to stabilize a “scandal-hit” brand and keep Davos relevant, even as critics continue to hammer familiar pressure points: elite networking masquerading as global problem-solving, climate messaging colliding with private-jet optics, and headline speeches that generate heat but not always measurable outcomes.

🇷🇺 Lavrov sums up Russian diplomacy in 2025

At a press conference reviewing Russian diplomacy over the past year, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov outlined Moscow’s views on key global and regional developments:

🔸 If the West wants to talk to itself "by its own rules," that is its choice, but Russia will act on the basis of equality and principles

🔸 The goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia is still on European leaders’ minds

🔸 The West seeks regime change in Iran

🔸 The US perpetrated a 'blatant armed invasion' of Venezuela and now threatens Cuba and other Latin American countries

🔸 Global rules have been swept aside and replaced with "might makes right" approach

🔸 Russia does not claim others' lawful rights and will not allow its own rights to be trampled

🔸 European leaders are seriously preparing for war with Russia

🔸 The need for a Palestinian state remains relevant, including in the context of US President Donald Trump's 'Peace Council' initiative

🔸 Russia has received concrete proposals on the 'Peace Council,' reflecting US recognition of the need for international cooperation

🔸 The EU again seeks to build a security framework against Russia, now involving Ukraine

🔸 Reaching agreement with current European leaders may be impossible
