The claim that Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf refused to shake hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during their meeting does not reflect the truth.
Globalinfo.az reports that “Anadolu Agency” has published an investigation into the matter.
The agency’s fact-checking service examined the claim and determined that it is not true.
It was stated that footage filmed in the first minutes of the meeting between the Swedish king and Zelensky was shared out of context.
In photos and videos posted on the official accounts of Zelensky and the Swedish king, it is clearly visible that they shook hands.
