Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky faced questioning and comments over his choice to wear combat gear during a Friday White House visit originally etched out for peace meetings but instead marked by a heated exchange in the Oval Office.
“Why don’t you wear a suit? You’re in the highest level of this country’s office, and you refuse to wear a suit? I just want to see, do you own a suit?” Brian Glenn, a commentator for the Real America’s Voice outlet, asked Zelensky.
“A lot of Americans have problems with you respecting this office.”
The foreign leader quickly jabbed back with a sarcastic remark.
“I will wear costume after this war will finish,” Zelensky said, possibly using the word “kostyum,” meaning “suit” in Ukrainian, per Google Translate.
