Volodymyr Zelensky may be unwilling to make political and territorial concessions in his war with Russia, but on Monday, the Ukrainian president made allowances of his own, arriving at the White House in a suit jacket.

President Trump has offered only vague assurances of security guarantees for Ukraine if President Volodymyr Zelensky agrees to cut a deal with Russia.

We don’t have any date,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters about a potential meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. President Trump said he hopes to hold a trilateral meeting with himself and the Russian and Ukrainian leaders.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicated that he would like to see President Trump participate in a future meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, should such a face-to-face come to fruition.

Zelensky's decision to wear a long-sleeve t-shirt emblazoned with a military insignia, rather than a suit, became a flashpoint.

One detail of President Trump’s meeting Monday with Volodymyr Zelensky drew particular notice: the Ukrainian president’s attire.Zelensky’s decision not to wear a suit at the two leaders’ February meeting in Washington sparked a testy exchange.

It was a striking contrast to the meeting six months ago, when Trump, red-faced and angry, accused an agitated Zelensky of failing to show enough gratitude to the United States. The blowup was so heated that the Ukrainian delegation was sent from the White House without being allowed to eat their waiting lunch.

President Donald Trump and others mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in March when he showed up at the White House in his customary military-style fatigues. Zelensky apparently got the message.
