Opposite the Resolute Desk, where Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy sat, a large map of Ukraine was displayed, showing the consequences of Russian aggression - the eastern part of the country colored pink. This was reported by BBC, according to UNN.
Details
In the Oval Office, behind the table where Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy sat, a large map of Ukraine is displayed. What can be seen on this map is a vivid reminder of the pressure on Ukraine and President Zelenskyy, writes the BBC.
The eastern part of the country, colored pink, illustrated the territory currently controlled by Russian military forces – approximately 20% of the country.
The author of the BBC article noted that such an emphasis was a "chilling reminder for Ukrainians of the current state of this almost four-year war." This may be a visual aid for Trump. And possibly a tool to pressure Zelenskyy to exchange territory for peace.
