Ukrainian boxer Usyk invites Trump to Ukraine to try to live under Russian bombardments

The world heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk has invited US President Donald Trump to his home in Ukraine so that he could better understand what ordinary Ukrainians are going through day and night under a barrage of Russian drones and missiles.

Details: Usyk addressed Trump with a plea to help Ukraine, which continues to fight against Russia.

"Donald Trump, please open [your] eyes, help my people," he said.

Usyk believes that Trump should fulfil his campaign promise and stop the war.

"He should be responsible for the words he said. He said that in a month or a day, he would stop this war. He is not responsible for his words. Why does he speak?" he wondered.

"I offer him my home. Let him come to Ukraine. I will give him my home and my security guards. I will ensure his complete safety. Let him live in my house for a week and see how rockets fly over it and how people live in Ukraine…

Let him come and live for a week, not just one day, but let him come secretly so that no one knows he has arrived," Usyk added.

He explained that if Moscow learns about such a visit by Trump, it will stop its attacks.

"And when he comes secretly, let him live somewhere in [the Kyiv districts of] Obolonskyi or Troieshchyna, where houses, residential buildings are being bombed. … Then he will understand what is happening," the boxer noted.

CNN reiterated that Usyk's home is located in the suburb of Kyiv, in the village of Vorzel in the Bucha district.
