Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to head to the US to meet with Donald Trump and critics have warned him to wear a suit this time around, following the spectacular fallout with the US president and Vice President JD Vance during his last trip to the White House.
The Ukrainian president was not invited to Trump and Putin’s Alaska summit on Friday, in which the leaders failed to agree on a ceasefire or peace deal to end the war in Ukraine. But Zelenskyy said he had a “long and substantive” conversation with Trump early Saturday and that they would “discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war” on Monday, when he is set to arrive at the White House.
It comes as the chilling details of what Trump told Zelensky after meeting Putin in Alaska are revealed.
Zelenskyy accused of being 'disrespectful' if he doesn't wear suit.
Some have speculated that Zelenskyy has been asked to wear a suit as one of the conditions for his upcoming meeting with Trump.
“The White House has informed the Ukrainian delegation that Zelensky MUST wear a suit or there will be no meeting!,” one commenter wrote on X. The post continued: “Bravo White House. It’s a formal meeting, and the presidency of the U.S. is an institution that demands the highest level of formality!”
Others also demanded that Zelenskyy wear a suit. “Hopefully Zelensky wears a suit this time, and says ‘THANK YOU,’ and doesn’t have outrageous demands…” one wrote on the social media platform.
“There should be a @Polymarket bet on Zelensky wearing a suit next Monday (or not),” one suggested.

A clown suit. Or a Green Goblin costume.
Yep, let’s see if he wears a suit tomorrow.
I bet he wears a track suit…. Haha!!!!
He’ll do what he’s told, he has no choice.
My guess he'll wear a black suit. Or dark green.
Then he will not get an audience.
Z is thinking; “Just for THAT, (all that free advice) I WON’T wear a suit! In fact, a Hawaiian shirt, Bermuda shorts and Espadrille hemp/ sandals sounds pretty good to me.
What are they gonna do? Frog March me and take me to
Alligator Alcatraz?”
A suit. I notice Trump wears a tie with his. (Which I think wearing a suit requires. But I’m old-school that way.) But I notice a ton of execs _don’t_ wear ties. Just an open collar. (Grrr.) Can Zelensky be a new-wave, cool-kid, and not wear a tie? Or should he wear a tie with his suit?
I’d lol if he showed up wearing one of those T-shirts that looks like a tuxedo.
After last time, if he takes this visit casually and disrespectfully, he might be escorted straight to the airport.
That’s for sure. They never sure have let him in the capitol that time he was casual.
He should wear his stiletto heels.
Dang, that Zelensky is kinda of a little fella.
The man could have simply bought a sports jacket off the shelf and worn it the last time and probably got by with it. Or even a nice dress shirt and pants. His outfit wasn’t even “business casual”, let alone suitable for a visit to the White House as one Head of State visiting another.
If Zelensky wears a suit for Trump tomorrow, it’s over.
If he shows up in his combat uniform, the war continues. pic.twitter.com/ciEu2M87ib— Russian Market (@runews) August 17, 2025
To find the sources for the insiders say Zelensky must wear a suit next time, one has to copy and paste to find the sources. This is from https://x.com/defense_civil25/status/1956796503646687293, somewhat grandiosely named 'US Homeland Security News".
It will be no surprise to those who are paying attention to where stories originate and looking things up on their own, this is from a pro-Russian fake-MAGA account.
If he shows up in his combat uniform, pick up a rifle and wear it to the front. And I’d be done with him.
