MOSCOW, January 23. /TASS/. Kirill Dmitriev, Special Representative of the Russian President for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, said on Tuesday that attempts to put Ukraine at the top of the agenda at the World Economic Forum in Davos have failed.

Statements by European leaders on the sidelines of the WEF sounded like performances in an international theater of the absurd, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

TASS collected the key statements from politicians and summed up the events that took place on the sidelines in Davos.

The United States is not disrespectful to Europe, but the leaders of the Old World "must change their ways" on issues of illegal immigration and renewable energy, US President Donald Trump told Sky News.

Trump also reiterated that many regions "are being destroyed right in front of our eyes, and the leaders don't even understand what is happening, and those who do understand don't do anything."
