UN Chief Guterres gets a controversial map of Europe at BRICS summit.
Reading
UN Secretary-General António Guterres got a special map of Europe as a gift. This happened during a meeting in Kazan with Dmitry Medvedev, a top Russian official. We didn't know about this meeting at first, but now there's a video of Guterres getting the gift.
The video shows that Guterres got the map after meeting with leaders from some other countries. Guterres seemed a bit confused when he saw the map. He asked if the map was accurate, and Medvedev jokingly said that it would be accurate soon.
Even though the video is not very clear, we can see that the map is the same as one Medvedev used before. But this map was drawn by hand. It seems like a special artist named Vasily Lozhkin might have drawn it, because the style looks like his work.
This gift is interesting because it shows how Russia wants to change the way people see Europe. By giving this map to the UN leader, Russia is trying to get attention for its ideas.
It's not clear yet what Guterres thinks about the map or what he will do with it. But this event shows how complicated things are between Russia and other countries right now. The map is a symbol of these disagreements and tensions.
