Kiev: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has described beautiful women as part of the country’s “brand”, prompting a furious backlash from activists and on social media on Tuesday.
“Tourists have always said that Ukraine is very beautiful, the food there is very tasty and the people are very beautiful, especially the women,” the recently elected leader said during an official visit to Paris on Monday. “Yes, that’s correct and it remains our brand,” the former comedian said.
But Tetyana Pechonchyk, head of Ukraine’s Human Rights Information Centre NGO, said following the comments that Ukraine’s “true brand” is sexism. (AFP)
