U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson received a painting by Ukrainian artist Olena Grozovska, created on the cover of a HIMARS system. The artwork portrays Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Johnson, being a religious man, appreciated the gift.

This information was reported by journalist Ostap Yarysh.

"Johnson is a religious man, so he appreciated the gift. Work is underway," he noted.

The artist, Olena Grozovska, noted, "My artwork, painted on a HIMARS cover, has come a long way and is now part of the collection of U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson."

She also pointed out that Johnson is a complex figure for Ukraine, as he has previously expressed skepticism about supporting our country.

"In politics, it is essential to seek alliances even when it seems incredibly challenging. That's why I am truly delighted that this initiative is underway. Johnson has moved beyond the rhetoric of 2022 and is now working on a critically important bill concerning aid and the partial cancellation of our debt.

I am incredibly grateful to those who tirelessly build cultural bridges, especially the Razom for Ukraine Foundation, Melinda Haring, and Bogdan Polovko, for their activism and their efforts in fostering opportunities for dialogue!" the artist emphasized.
