    Thank you for your combat service.

    While Zelensky may not have earned your respect for his choice of attire, he's earned the respect of folks that wear fancy clothing for a living and who's opinions matter.

    Mitt Romney: "President Zelensky is one of the most courageous people of our century. He is the face of good and Putin is the face of evil. Zelensky is on the streets in Ukraine, wearing battle fatigues, ready to fight for his country. And Putin is sitting behind this massive table in this huge white room; it looks like a mausoleum where honesty and honor went to die. Putin is becoming smaller and smaller on the world stage. He’s being diminished. I hope and pray Zelensky survives, but I know that there’s a substantial risk he doesn’t. This is one of the great heroes of my lifetime."

    I'm sorry, I respect the guy and have empathy for what his country is going through; but pull it together man.

    Maybe one day of this would have been acceptable, but this has been going on for like a month.

    I'm a former Army officer, and even in combat zones, it was imperative for senior leadership to not look like they are so out of control they cannot shave, wear clean clothes, do personal hygiene etc. Officers shaved in combat, tried to get haircuts when available, wore clean clothes when available etc.

    We expected our generals to have the highest standards of personal appearance. They would never have walked around in a t shirt, unshaven like this for over a month.

    Also, when the US willfully destroys its own petro dollar for your cause, you better have the decency to speak to us in a suit.

    Thoughts?

    Not the time to worry about that kind of thing right now, way beyond worrying about that pettiness.

    He is trying to look like he is in the army and fighting on the front lines.

    Remember Bush in the flight suit?

    Same thing

    Petro Poroshenko, Zelensky's predecessor as Ukraine's president and the man who lost the most recent election, goes for the flack jacket look in his appearances:

    Holding people's interest is not the same thing as holding their respect. Now in this case it's understandable that the Wests reliable puppet has their interest, he is serving it.

    Seriously? The man is in the middle of a battlefield in fatigues, living in who knows what kind of circumstances you think he has a closet full of clean shirts hanging somewhere? You are beyond out of touch with reality on what's going on in Kyiv.

    Somebody get this man a decent suit.

    Obviously you are oblivious to what is actually going on in that city. Doubt anyone is worrying about suits as they step over dead civilians

    re: gregtheegg

    Some of the comments here are frankly appalling. How typical and petty to be judging a man who is putting his own life on the line to stop the war and end the killing of civilians. Name any one US president that would do what Zelensky is doing. Out in Kyiv with assasination attempts on him, consoling people and soldiers. Do you not see the videos of the atrocities and bombings? This thread is disgusting

    Our presidents don't have to be on the battlefield because we spend money on defense. Our president doesn't have to beg other countries for help.

    Do you really think the men and women of Ukraine who have lost family members and everything they have ever owned would be able to relate easily to their countries leader if he wore an immaculate suit, was freshly groomed, had makeup on and looked like he was been pampered? You're totally out of touch with what's important to people in times of tragedy.

    Personally, I'd be bummed knowing that our defense was so neglected that our damn political leader (a comedian by trade) is out in the thick of fighting as if we lived in the 1200s.

    Because he’s an actor chosen by Ukrainian deep state to play the part of a war hero President, it’s really clear as day
