Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk has invited U.S. President Donald Trump to spend a week in his house to witness firsthand what is happening in Ukraine.

According to Ukrinform, Usyk made this statement during an interview with BBC Sport.

"I advise American President Donald Trump to come to Ukraine and live in my house for one week. Only one week. I will give him my house. Live please in Ukraine and watch what is going on every night," Usyk said.

The boxer described how bombs, missiles, and Shahed-type drones fly over his home every night.

Asked whether Trump would change his opinion on the war in his homeland, Usyk said: "I don't know. Maybe he'll understand, maybe he won't."

"Ukrainian people are dying. It's not just military guys, but children, women, grandmothers, grandfathers. For me it's hard. It's my country. I worry about what happens in my country," Usyk said.

In late April, Usyk publicly called on Trump to help stop the war in Ukraine.
