Ceramic Cockerels Surprise Boris Johnson And Volodymyr Zelenskiy On Kyiv Walk Ukraine

As the two leaders walked the spooky empty streets of the Ukrainian capital, surrounded by armed soldiers, a woman approached and handed them the two rooster-shaped ceramic jugs. “I’m from London,” Johnson said, to which the woman replied with a smile. “I know, I’m from Kharkov.” The ceramic rooster was first designed by the famous Ukrainian artist and sculptor Prokop Bidasiuk, who worked in the local majolica factory and created many dishes, vases, toys and other ceramic products. Bidasiuk, born in 1895, has exhibited his work at the National Museum of Folk Applied Art. When photos of one of his ceramic cockerels surviving the Borodianka bombing surfaced, it was adopted as a reflection of Ukrainian resilience, and quickly became a meme on the internet. Borodianka is located about 60 kilometers northwest of Kiev and has been hit hard by Russian bombardment, with survivors picking up rubble in search of loved ones. On Thursday, Zelensky posted a video on the Telegram, claiming that the situation in Borodyanka was “much worse” than in Bucha, where images appeared of what appeared to be deliberate killings of civilians. “The work of clearing the rubble in Borodyanka has begun; it is much scarier there. “Even more victims than the Russian occupiers,” he said. The photo that sparked the rooster’s adoption as a symbol showed a high-rise building that had partially collapsed due to heavy bombardment. An exposed kitchen cupboard survived intact, with the cockerel still standing on top of it amid the disaster.
