An unusual meeting recently took place at the presidential offices in Kyiv, Ukraine. Terence Crawford, the former American world boxing champion who was on an official visit, presented a rather unexpected gift to President Volodymyr Zelensky: a three-month-old female Pitbull named Freyja.
A symbolic name
Her name is a nod to Ukraine's future "FREYJA" air defence system, which is set to help protect the country against air and missile attacks.
A famous grandfather
The Ukrainian President also revealed that the puppy's grandfather, Athos, survived the terrible Russian occupation of Bucha in 2022. He was rescued and then adopted in the United States by a close friend of Terence Crawford.
Welcoming the "warm and special gift", Volodymyr Zelensky thanked the former American athlete for his constant solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
