During the meeting between President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, something went wrong and the photographer captured how the head of state, modestly clasped his hands, stands in front of a seated guest.
The photo was taken at the Mariinsky Palace. Probably Stoltenberg signed in the book of honored guests, sitting at a small table. He holds a pen in his hand and at the same time turns to Zelensky, who is forced to stand nearby and smile.
Recall that last fall, President of Poland Andrzej Duda, who arrived in Washington on a visit, found himself in an equally uncomfortable position. He was forced to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with the United States, bending over a table in the Oval Office. At the same time, Donald Trump is sitting in his chair.
