All eyes are on Washington as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrives at the White House for a dramatic summit with Donald Trump and European leaders. This moment goes beyond politics—Zelensky’s wardrobe itself has become a message to the world. Days ago, an American journalist mocked whether he even owned a suit, sparking laughter from Trump and Senator J.D. Vance. Now, the Ukrainian leader’s choice could define the future of the war. A formal suit may symbolize readiness to accept Trump’s controversial peace plan—ceding Crimea and parts of Donbas to Russia. His trademark olive-green attire, however, would signal fierce defiance, a vow that Ukraine will never surrender its land. With tensions between Washington, Kyiv, and Europe already at breaking point, even a simple outfit has turned into a diplomatic weapon. Will Zelensky bow to pressure—or double down on resistance? The answer could reshape alliances and the global balance of power.
