Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s decision not to wear a suit when meeting King Charles III at Sandringham has sparked online controversy. While King Charles appeared unbothered by the Ukrainian president’s casual attire, some social media users criticized his choice, questioning why he didn’t dress more formally for the occasion.

Zelenskyy has previously explained his reasoning, stating that he wears army sweatshirts and cargo pants due to the ongoing war with Russia. He humorously added that he would wear a suit after the war ends. His choice of clothing reflects his focus on the war rather than formalities.

In a separate incident, Zelenskyy had a tense meeting with President Donald Trump, who criticized him for being disrespectful and warned that Zelenskyy was “gambling with World War Three.” Trump and Vice President JD Vance also urged Zelenskyy to show more gratitude for U.S. support.
