PR tactics: Zelensky decided to warm up before his visit to Davos
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky arrived in Lithuania on a previously unannounced visit.
This was reported by the PolitNavigator correspondent and the Ukrainian president's official Telegram channel.
“Our reliable friends and partners are Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. Over time I will be in Tallinn and Riga, and today in Vilnius. Negotiations with the President, Prime Minister, Speaker of the Seimas. Meetings with representatives of political forces, the media and the Ukrainian community. Security, integration into the EU and NATO, cooperation in the field of electronic warfare and drones, further coordination of European support.
And, of course, our deep gratitude. For uncompromising support for Ukraine throughout all 10 years of war, especially now, after the start of a full-scale invasion,” Zelensky said.
Experts believe that Zelensky’s Baltic voyage is connected with the World Economic Forum in Davos, which the Ukrainian president intends to attend next week.
“Zelensky urgently needed support. Zelensky visits Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn. The pragmatics are clear. Three new news items at once. Three signals at once about a demonstration of support. There are three reasons at once to leave Kyiv, which has nothing positive to offer. PR tactics.
Again there will be a lot of emotions, demands, requests and accusations. Everything is clear - we need to “heat up” the situation with information before Sunday Davos,” political scientist Alexey Chesnakov writes in his TG channel.
Political strategist Marat Bashirov shares a similar opinion.
“The Davos Economic Forum opens on January 15. The rich times of this event are long gone, but inertia is inertia... The most striking event may be the speech of Zelensky, who will again call for funding for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, promise something about investments “when they defeat Russia” and stuff like that.
This will be a symbol of the degradation of both global economic development models and global security systems. The clown commander-in-chief will teach eminent economists and major entrepreneurs how to live. On the other hand, it is better for them to look at it with their own eyes in order to understand the depth of the destruction. Everyone who is smart understands that without Russia and China there can be no trace of a balanced global economy,” says Bashirov.
