Donald Trump asked Volodymyr Zelenskyy if he’d travel to Moscow and the Ukrainian president’s A++ answer was an absolute direct hit

To the Nato summit now, where Donald Trump held a joint press conference of sorts with his carer, sorry, Ukranian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

There was no end of memorable moments, such as Trump suggesting that 11 missiles had been fired by the ‘Islamic Republic of Japan’, but this one was especially good.

It was the American president asking Zelenskyy if he’d be prepared to travel to Moscow to try to bring an end to Russia’s invasion of his country.

And Zelenskyy’s answer showed he had lost absolutely none of his perfect comedy timing.

TRUMP: Would you go to Moscow?

ZELENSKYY: It is difficult. There are lots of Ukrainian drones there. It’s dangerous. pic.twitter.com/4KGmS90qZh

Brilliantly done. And even better because by the looks of things it went entirely over Trump’s head.

What I love and admire about President @ZelenskyyUa is, of course, his courage, his selflessness in serving his people, and his exceptional & unparalleled strategic intelligence.
But his sense of humor—essential for survival in these dark times—holds a special place in my heart. https://t.co/66EA7Dp5lU

As good as Zelensky the Spokesman and Zelensky the War President has been at times, nothing beats Zelensky the Professional Comedian. https://t.co/z3VDmYCDrQ
