THIS is the hilarious moment President Zelensky gets revenge on the reporter who criticised him for not wearing a suit in the Oval Office.

Mr Zelensky has previously been criticised by parts of the US media for wearing military-style clothing at the White House.

During an explosive meeting at the Oval Office in February Zelensky wore military style fatigues that drew the anger of President Trump.

Journalists and the Vice President urged Zelensky to express more gratitude for the extensive military aid provided by the United States.

Nonetheless, during the Oval Office meeting with Trump on Monday, Zelensky managed to craft a witty response to the media and even garnered a compliment from President Trump regarding his suit.

Zelensky swapped his signature battlefield khakis for a slick black suit at his meeting with the US President today.

As the two addressed the media, a reporter said: “President Zelensky, you look fabulous in that suit … you look good.”

The US president replied: “I said the same thing.”

Mr Trump then pointed out the reporter to Mr Zelensky, saying: “he’s the one who attacked you last time”.

Zelensky laughed and replied: “I remember.”

The reporter issued a hasty apology to the Ukrainian President but Zelensky went on to get his own back.

The Ukrainian president humorously remarked to a reporter, “You’re in the same suit. Remarkably, I’ve changed, whereas you haven’t,” delivering a clever comeback.

Zelensky didn’t really need the Europeans with him to meet Trump at the White House – they were a mere sideshow

Trump found the barb hilarious and laughed along with the rest of the room at the reporter’s expense.

The pair then went on to take questions from the room in good spirits.

Trump admired Zelensky’s black military-style suit and, gesturing to Zelensky’s outfit as they greeted each other outside the White House, exclaimed: “Look at you!”

The Ukrainian president appears to have told Donald Trump that he is wearing “the best suit” he owns.

Zelensky turned up in the same jacket he was spotted wearing at a recent Nato summit and the Pope’s funeral in June.

The exchange between the Ukrainian President and the reporter who previously criticised him drew a lot of laughs from the watching press pack.

Trump seemed satisfied that Zelensky had embraced his fashion recommendations and went as far as highlighting Zelensky’s critics.

Zelensky made quick work of the reporter with a witty jibe about the journalist’s own fashion sense.

The press conference with Trump and Zelensky has since ended, in sharp contrast to the last one in February.

The briefing has seemingly ended in positive spirits, compared to the historic clash in the White House in February which ended on a cold note.

Will there be peace in Ukraine?

THE prospect of peace in Ukraine remains uncertain as the Russia-Ukraine war continues into its fourth year.

Although Trump’s diplomatic engagements and the organized meeting suggest persistent U.S. involvement, the divide between Russia’s demands and Ukraine’s expectations remains significant.

Putin’s history of stalling and Zelensky’s insistence on a full ceasefire and security guarantees suggest that a lasting peace agreement is unlikely in the immediate term without significant concessions from either side.

Next week’s meeting may produce a framework or memorandum for future talks, as Putin has indicated, but a concrete peace deal appears distant based on current dynamics.

Recent US-brokered talks, including direct negotiations in Istanbul on May 16 and June 2, 2025, have yielded no breakthroughs, though agreements on prisoner exchanges signal some dialogue.

US President Donald Trump has pushed for a ceasefire, shortening a 50-day deadline for Russia to negotiate or face sanctions, but tensions persist with Russian advances in eastern Ukraine and intensified drone and missile strikes on cities like Kyiv.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has suggested territorial swaps, while Russia shows little willingness to compromise.

With ongoing military escalation and divergent American and European approaches, a lasting peace deal appears distant.
