8:05Now PlayingUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy opened the World Economic Forum in Davos.
"This year the words 'turning point' seem to have taken on more meaning," Zelenskyy said, pointing to this year's theme, "History at a turning point."
Zelenskyy pointed to Sarajevo in 1914 and Munich in 1938, the two historic events just ahead of the two world wars, comparing them to Russia's invasion of Ukraine this year.
"History remembers many moments when everything changed dramatically," the Ukrainian president pointed out.
He said the war and Ukraine's resistance showed "the understanding that you need to fight for the freedom."
Zelenskyy urged Western countries to employ maximum sanctions against Russia, called for an oil embargo, a halt to all trade with Russia and a full blockade on business with all Russian banks.
