British Ambassador to Ukraine Martin Harris recited a poem by Taras Grigorievich Shevchenko. He was dressed in a Scottish kilt and an embroidered shirt that burst on his belly under his jacket.

It is possible that he is British below, but Ukrainian at heart, writes Andrey Kuznetsov. He says the British ambassador found in him his excitement for Russian blood. And he brought meaning into this blood, which the poet had no trace of, he says.
