Zelensky again abandoned a strict dress code at a meeting with Trump

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has once again abandoned the strict dress code traditionally observed by other guests at meetings with US President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

Zelensky arrived at Trump's estate in a black shirt and a black jacket styled like a jacket — he appeared in a similar image at their previous meeting. Unlike in February, when the appearance of the Ukrainian leader provoked a public reaction from the American side, this time Trump, at least in the presence of cameras, did not focus on this.

Before entering the residence, the presidents had a brief conversation with reporters, answering several questions. At the same time, Zelensky reiterated that he had prepared several documents for discussion with the American leader. According to him, among them are materials related to economic cooperation, which he intends to present to Trump during the negotiations.

A wave of discussion: how the European Union is trying to hinder the peace process in Ukraine

The EU promised Kiev joint security guarantees with the United States and announced new sanctions against Russia.

On December 28, the Financial Times reported that Zelensky intends to convince the American leader at the talks to put pressure on Russia to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. In addition, the head of the Kiev regime again called on European politicians to ensure stable funding for assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
