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.

Lol. The Fetterman Collection.
I don’t know why you keep posting that nonsense about the Trump-Vance-Zelensky fiasco. It has been repeatedly debunked all over this website.
You really do believe your own BS.
You prattle on as if you know something, as if you are some kind of great diplomat who understands how the world works. And if only people would listen to you, the problem would be solved. That Trump guy knows nothing. He just never succeeds at anything. His track record is failure.
All this while hiding behind the avatar of the founder of the KKK and a great democrat founding father. Just brilliant you are. So capable. So smart. So nuanced.
It's stunning how wrong, and arrogant about being wrong, you are. Yet here you are prattling on about things you actually think are true.
Question for you to answer: If Trump is so bad at this peace process because he's so rude, how is it that he has been so successful in forging peace via the Abraham accords during his last term? and how is it that he has stopped so many little (and some not so little) conflicts all over the world these last 7 months?
I await your answer oh great one.
Bttt
Oh, I know that.
Track suits are a typical Eastern European thug outfit….
The little perv is a pig, so it’ll be interesting to see what he does. He knows that disrespect irks PDJT and MAGA, and coming dressed like a slob is a not-so-subtle way to stick it to everyone.
“a Hawaiian shirt, Bermuda shorts and Espadrille hemp/ sandals”
Sounds like the deacons in our church on Maui.
“Or should he wear a tie with his suit?”
Absolutely a tie. Susie Wiles should be like a maitre d at a fancy restaurant and be supplied with a stash of ties for him — just in case. They all should have some sort of MAGA reference on them.
Ha! Even better.
Yikes!
He’d better watch his mouth too. Last time he called JD Vance a bitch (suka).
“Trump was right to point out that Zelensky owed a debt of gratitude to America for its assistance,”
I’m glad Vance told him clearly that he “never said thank you”. Jerk thought he’d show up and deal with co-grifter Biden. He learned that he was wrong.
And the eye-rolling... OMG!
The three principals involved all are stubborn men, and not likely to make compromises. They all want to save face and appear to be alpha. Trump and Putin are in it for their countries, although Putin’s goals are wrong-headed. Zyy is in it for the money — for himself and his wife’s shopping trips.
I am not hopeful that this will be resolved for at least 20 more years when there will be different people involved.
Do they make suits that small?
“But I notice a ton of execs _don’t_ wear ties. Just an open collar.”
It’s casual Friday when they don’t wear a tie. It’s also because it’s a new generation of leaders.
Now that he’s been advised that a suit would be more appropriate it would be even more disrespectful if he didn’t.
Yes, the Mickey Rooney collection.
Lol! Maybe they were inspired by that Soft Jazz tune from Steely Dan, you know, that song named Deacon Blues.
