During the World Economic Forum 2024, a significant moment was the speech of Ukrainian President Vlodymyr Zelensky. After appearing on video the previous year, this time the president was present in person in the main convention hall, captivating the audience for 45 minutes.
The culmination of his speech was an unexpected and humorous scene. After giving his speech in English, President Zelensky put on his headphones to listen to a question asked in English by Borge Brende. Responding in English, he forgot to take off his headphones and therefore heard the simultaneous translation into Ukrainian. His spontaneous reaction? A burst of laughter as he shared with the audience that he found our performer's voice much more pleasant than his own. He added, with a bit of wisdom, that despite serious circumstances, a bit of humor is always welcome.
