“Can’t afford a suit?” Trump allies accuse Zelensky of disrespect over his appearance at a meeting in Paris

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s appearance in a hoodie and military boots during his meeting with newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump was described as “disrespectful.”

This opinion was voiced by Roger Stone, an advisor to the U.S. president-elect, as reported by The New York Post.

According to Stone, Zelensky’s attire was “disrespectful to the American people.”

“Can’t he afford a suit? He wore a suit and tie at the World Economic Forum, but can’t wear one to address Congress or meet the president-elect of the United States?” Stone publicly questioned.

As a reminder, Zelensky has stated that he will not accept any peace agreements without effective security guarantees.

“I said that we need a just and strong peace that the Russians won’t destroy in a few years, as they have done before. Therefore, when we talk about an effective peace with Russia, we must first talk about effective guarantees of peace,” Zelensky wrote.

Previously, Trump stated that Zelensky and Ukraine might be inclined to reach an agreement with Russia to end the war.
