Zelensky Samples Barfi Made By Rishi Sunak’s Mom

LONDON (ANI) – A video showing UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak offering a barfi to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has gone viral on social media.

“It’s not every day that @zelenskiy_official tries your mum’s, homemade sweets,” Sunak captioned the video.

“My mum had got some Indian sweets that she wanted to give me that she’d made, called barfi. I saw President Zelenskyy on the Monday after that, and he and I were chatting, and he was hungry. So, I gave him some of my mum’s barfi which she was very happy to see. She was thrilled by that,” the UK PM is heard saying in the video.

Notably, President Zelenskyy recently visited Britain during his European tour, which was aimed at securing new weapons for a counteroffensive against Russia. It was Zelenskyy’s second trip to the UK since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

Sunak, whose parents came to the UK from East Africa in the 1960s, is of Indian descent. His father was a local doctor while his mother ran a pharmacy in southern England, something Sunak says gave him his desire to serve the public.
