Gifts exchanged between Trump and Zelenskyy revealed

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has presented his American counterpart Donald Trump with a golf club that had been passed on to him by Ukrainian serviceman Junior Sergeant Kostiantyn Kartavtsev.

Zelenskyy explained that Kartavtsev lost a leg in the first months of Russia’s full-scale invasion while rescuing his brothers-in-arms.

Trump accepted the gift and recorded a video thanking the Ukrainian defender.

It was also reported that the US president, in turn, presented Zelenskyy with symbolic keys to the White House.

The multilateral talks between the leaders of Ukraine, the US, the European Commission, NATO and several European states were interrupted so that Trump could call Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.

Trump later announced that he was beginning preparations for a trilateral meeting with Zelenskyy and Putin.
