Protocol expert assessed Zelensky's dress code at meeting with Trump

Etiquette and protocol expert Albina Kholgova explained how the United States reacted to the appearance of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky at a meeting with US leader Donald Trump in an inappropriate manner.

In conversation with aif.ru On Wednesday, July 29, she noted that the lack of a suit at such meetings is an important detail of Zelensky's image. According to her, he has long adhered to this style and does not deviate from it: he most often appears at official events in a T-shirt, sometimes complementing it with a shirt. Even at this meeting, he did not wear a jacket, but clothes resembling a frock coat.

"Of course, such clothes are not suitable for a meeting with the President of the United States. If he was in Ukraine, he could justify his outfit with security measures, but now he is far from the country. It would be wiser for him to wear a suit," the expert explained.

The reporter did not rule out that such an outfit could offend the American side.
