"Open your eyes!" World heavyweight boxing champion from Ukraine, Oleksandr Usyk, has called on US President Donald Trump to come to Ukraine and live in his home to see firsthand the realities of war and Russian shelling, CNN Sports reports.
“I offer him my home. Let him live in my house for a week and see how rockets fly over it and how people live in Ukraine," says Usyk.
According to the boxer, Trump must be responsible for his words, and finally fulfill his promise to end the war in Ukraine, as he had said he would stop the war within a day or a month.
“He should be responsible for the words he said. Why does he speak?” the boxer adds, stressing that the US president needs to “open his eyes and help.”
Usyk also advises Trump to live in the Kyiv districts of Obolon or Troieshchyna, "where houses, residential buildings are being bombed," to "understand what is happening.”
This is not the first call by prominent figures for Trump to visit Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly invited Trump to visit the frontline and see the war with his own eyes. However, the American leader has yet to come to the country.
