Ukrainian Boxer Usyk Urges Trump to ‘Open Eyes’ and End War in Ukraine
In an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk appealed to US President Donald Trump, calling on him to stop the war in Ukraine.
The Gaze reports on this with reference to a video of the interview on social network X.
Usyk said that the transfer of Russia's occupied territories to Ukraine is ‘nonsense’, noting that there are many ‘disputed areas’.
‘Our world lives by the truth. We have Ukraine. This, this and this belong to Ukraine. Why are you (Russia - ed.) taking away my country? President Trump, please open your eyes,’ Usyk said.
When asked what actions he expects the US president to take, Usyk responded with a call to end the Russian-Ukrainian war.
‘Please stop the war in Ukraine,’ the boxer said, addressing Trump.
At the same time, he stressed that Ukrainian territories should not be transferred to Russia.
‘This is my territory. This is the territory of my country. This is my people,’ Usyk stressed.
On 24 April, US President Donald Trump said that as a concession to bring peace to Ukraine, Russia offered to stop the war and not to seize the entire territory of Ukraine.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy intended to present Trump with Usyk's championship belt, but after a ‘quarrel’ he forgot it in the White House.
As The Gaze reported earlier, Trump's vision for peace involves conceding Ukrainian land to Russia.
