  • A conservative commentator shifted the focus off themes of war and peace on Friday (Feb 28) when he asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy why he wasn't wearing a suit at an Oval Office event.

The article from MSN discusses Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's choice of casual attire during a formal meeting, which has sparked some controversy and discussion. Typically, heads of state adhere to a strict dress code for such occasions, but Zelenskiy, known for his informal style even before his presidency due to his background as a comedian and actor, chose to wear his usual khaki trousers and a sweater. This decision was highlighted during his meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden, where Zelenskiy's casual look contrasted sharply with the suits worn by other attendees. The article explores the implications of this sartorial choice, suggesting it might reflect Zelenskiy's desire to maintain a connection with the common people of Ukraine, especially in times of crisis, or could be seen as a statement against traditional political norms. However, it also raises questions about the respect for diplomatic protocol and the image of Ukraine on the international stage.
