New Delhi: A tea firm in Assam has launched a new tea and named it after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in order to honour his courage, reported news agency ANI. 

Ranjit Baruah, the owner of Guwahati's Aromica Tea, which specialises in luxury teas, has the new tea 'Zelenskyy'. The tea 'Zelenskyy' is inspired by the courage and valour of Ukraine's President who rejected the US offer to escape war-torn Ukraine and stay firm for his nation amid the Ukraine-Russia war.

"We want to bring in the analogy of strength, the courage of Ukraine's President who has single-handedly fought the mighty Russian force,” said Baruah adding that “I hope people like it.” 

As Russia’s invasion in Ukraine entered its fourth week, the tensions between the two countries does not seem to abate. Russian President Vladimir Putin, on Friday, in a telephonic conversation with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that Kyiv was stalling talks with Moscow. 

Meanwhile on Friday, Zelenskyy said that 130 people were saved from Mariupol theatre bombing while hundreds were still trapped. 

On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had cautioned the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation that Russian missiles will fall on its member states if a no-fly zone was not imposed over Ukrainian skies. 

In his virtual address on Monday, Zelenskyy said: "I reiterate that if you do not close our sky, it is only a matter of time before Russian missiles fall on your territory, on NATO territory, on the homes of NATO citizens".

"I had warned NATO that without preventive sanctions, Russia would begin a war and that Moscow would use Nord Stream 2 as a weapon," he said, as quoted by news agency ANI.
