The Telegraph reported that survival expert Grylls recently traveled to Ukraine to film a documentary, where he also met President Zelensky. To “ease the tension” of their first meeting, the host decided to offer Mr. Zelensky a piece of chocolate.
“However, the president's security team was not pleased. They refused the offer and were on high alert for Grylls' unexpected situation for fear of poisoning,” the Telegraph said.
Meanwhile, on the survival expert's side, he was aware of the danger of his actions.
The Ukrainian government has not commented on the matter.
