Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s meeting with Donald Trump seemed to go a lot more smoothly compared to the February meeting which saw the Ukrainian president essentially bullied by Trump, Vance, and the media too. One particularly frustrating moment came when a reporter asked Zelenskyy why he wasn’t wearing a suit.
The question was seen as a low blow considering the siege Zelenskyy’s country was (and still is) under. Of course wearing appropriate attire is not high on the list of his priorities and Zelenskyy made the reporter who asked the question aware of that at the time, telling him, “I will wear a costume after this war [is] finished,” before pointing at the journalist and saying “maybe something like yours.”
