During a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump on February 28, a White House correspondent, Brian Glenn, questioned Zelensky about his casual attire.
Glenn asked why Zelensky, despite holding the highest office in Ukraine, refused to wear a suit. Zelensky responded humorously, saying, “After this war is over, I’ll wear a costume… maybe something less expensive than yours.”
The exchange went viral on X, sparking debate. Supporters defended Zelensky, pointing out that figures like Elon Musk often wear casual attire without being questioned.
Others argued that Zelensky should have dressed more formally to show respect for the White House. Some even speculated that Zelensky misinterpreted Glenn’s question due to a language barrier, as the Ukrainian word “kostyum” can mean “suit” in English.
The incident highlighted the contrasting reactions to Zelensky’s outfit, with many on both sides of the debate.
