Soskin assessed Zelensky's sitting in Trump's chair as a political necessity.

Ukrainian President's wife, Olena Zelenska, became the center of serious discussions in international politics following an international summit held in Washington. Zamin.uz reported on this.

Regarding the incident that occurred at this event, Oleg Soskin, former aide to ex-Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, shared his notable opinion via his YouTube channel. According to the expert, Olena Zelenska approaching and speaking from the empty chair left after US First Lady Melania Trump exited the hall can be assessed as a symbolic and even insulting act.

Soskin views this situation not merely as a coincidence but as a deliberate political provocation. In his words, by speaking from the First Lady's seat, she may have expressed disregard for the Trump family.

This could appear as a significant insult to the US First Lady and might never be forgiven by Donald Trump in the future. Oleg Soskin also reminded that US President Donald Trump places great importance on his family traditions and personal relationships.

In his opinion, such a situation could weaken trust between leaders and negatively affect personal relationships. The expert described this incident as shameful, assessing it as a serious situation where the First Lady was treated with such disrespect despite being given the opportunity to speak at the proposed meeting.

Olena Zelenska participated in a summit organized within the framework of the "Together for the Future" global coalition during her visit to Washington. At this gathering, human rights, global cooperation, and joint initiatives for future generations were widely discussed.

However, the aforementioned incident regarding the chair remained apart from the event's main purpose, becoming a situation that highlighted delicate nuances in international politics.
