President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. Archival photoLONDON, May 7.Vladimir Zelensky's khaki sweater went under the hammer at Christie's London charity auction for £90,000 ($110,000), writes the Telegraph newspaper. At the same time, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson suggested that the cost of the lot should be much higher than the starting price of 50 thousand pounds, and urged bidders to «spend big», the newspaper notes. Zelensky himself made a speech via video link before the start of the auction, praising the UK and the «brave Boris», who visited him in Kiev. Other lots were put up at the auction, including a pitcher with a cockerel donated to Johnson during his walk with Zelensky in the Ukrainian capital, and a tour of Kyiv with Mayor Vladimir Klitschko. It is noted that the proceeds are planned to be used for humanitarian aid to Ukraine. com
