Az ukrán felső vezetés meghívására Kijevben filmező Bear Grylls Kijev utcáin készített interjút Ukrajna elnökével.
A méltán népszerű tévéműsor, a Túlélés törvényeinek angol műsorvezetője, Edward „Bear” Grylls Ukrajnában tett látogatást. A korábban az extrém körülmények közötti túlélésekről sorozatot készítő filmes találkozott a háborúban álló ország elnökével, Volodimir Zelenszkijjel. Brit sajtóértesülések szerint az ukrán elnök hívta meg a negyvenkilenc éves filmest, akinek – Magyarországon is nagy sikerrel vetített – műsorában híres színészek, sportolók, zenészek vonultak ki a vadonba a műsorvezetővel, ahol Grylls túlélési tanácsokat adott a városi környezethez szokott vendégeinek.
Egyik leghíresebb – és eddigi egyetlen politikus – vendége az Egyesült Államok akkori elnöke, Barack Obama volt, akivel Alaszkában kalandozott 2015-ben.
A brit Channel 4 tévéadó számára készült elnöki interjúra Kijev központjában került sor, ahol testőrök gyűrűjében, a szabad ég alatt beszélgetett Zelenszkij az angol filmessel. A Daily Mail beszámolója szerint, az interjú során Grylls – a vadonban is hasznos tápértékkel bíró – csokoládéval szerette volna megkínálni Ukrajna elnökét, ám a biztonságiak ehhez nem járultak hozzá, attól tartva, hogy az édesség mérgező lehet.
Grylls a műsoraiban szereplő ismert embereket rendszeresen kínálta valamilyen, a vadonban beszerzett élelemmel: Obama elnököt lazaccal kínálta meg, aki el is fogadta azt.
Az interjúban – amelynek célja az alkotók szerint az ukrán elnök személyének minél jobb megismerése volt –, Volodimir Zelenszkij elmondta, a háború 2022-es kitörése óta keveset találkozott családjával, sem feleségével, sem gyermekeivel nincs módja sokszor érintkezni.
Nem Bear Grylls volt az első ismert ember, akit az ukrán vezetés felső szintjéről hívtak meg Kijevbe: korábban Orlando Bloom és Sean Penn filmszínészek is találkoztak Zelenszkijjel, és biztosították őt támogatásukról.

Many in Russia thought that the Black Sea was the water area of their power. The enemy hoped that our Navy would not be able to withstand Russian attacks. Well, the courage and skill of our warriors destroyed all these enemy hopes and drowned them in the sea.
The warriors of the 45th separate rifle battalion are absolutely heroic. It was an honor for me to visit the defenders in Ivano-Frankivsk who are undergoing treatment there and talk to them. It was an honor to receive a chevron and add it to the chevron board in my office.
Bakhmut direction, advanced positions of the Special Operations Forces. Today, I am here to congratulate our warriors on their professional day, to honor their strength. I heard a commander's report, talked with the warriors. Very powerful, very effective. Thank you!
In the surgical department of the hospital, I talked to children who are undergoing treatment after mine-blast injuries sustained during shelling of the region.

What I wanted to ask was how he was really coping… I got so much more. The programme is coming soon. Thank you @ZelenskyyUa for your hospitality in such a difficult time. Stay Strong. pic.twitter.com/OTxMKXaUeF
„Ahogy beköszönt a tél az országban, és infrastruktúrájukat továbbra is támadások érik, a túlélés valódi napi küzdelemmé válik több millió ember számára. Ennek a különleges műsornak köszönhetően Zelenszkij elnököt olyan oldalról láthatja a világ, amilyet még soha nem mutattak be. Meg akartam kérdezni, hogy bírja… de sokkal többet kaptam. Az epizód hamarosan adásba kerül” – írta Grylls a Twitteren és több fotót is közzétett.
