LONDON: British PM Rishi Sunak revealed that he shared some barfi made by his mother with Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Downing Street recently, hours before his latest phone call with the Ukrainian president on Monday. The 43-year-old British Indian leader posted a reel over the weekend on his official Instagram account of an interview during which he shared the moment his mother Usha’s homemade delicacy was enjoyed by Zelenskyy .
The incident goes back to last month when Sunak made aquick visit to his hometown of Southampton to launch a new government scheme for the state-funded National Health Service to expand the role of high street pharmacies. “My mum had got some Indian sweets that she wanted togive me that she’d made, called barfi. . .
Oddly enough, I saw President Zelensky on the Monday after that, and he and I were chatting, and he was hungry. So, I actually gave him some of my mum’s barfi… she was thrilled by that,” he said.
Sunak has developed a close bond with Zelensky since taking charge at 10 Downing Street in October last year.
