Russian Chess Grandmaster Garry Kasparov, who holds a pro-Ukraine stance, said the new U.K. Prime Minister made his first call "to the leader of the free world" after Rishi Sunak and the Ukrainian president discussed the war on Tuesday.
What Happened: Kasparov, in a tweet on Thursday, said that according to "old tradition," the first call by a U.K. prime minister is usually made to Washington. However, defying norms this time, Sunak, who took charge as prime minister on Tuesday, made his first call to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and not U.S. President Joe Biden.
Zelenskyy was the first world leader to speak to Sunak on Tuesday night as he became the new PM of the U.K. after Liz Truss resigned within 45 days in office — the shortest tenure of any U.K. prime minister.
"I believe that the partnership between our countries and the already traditional British leadership in defense of democracy and freedom will be further strengthened. I invited the prime minister to visit Ukraine," Zelenskyy said.
This is just my opinion.
