    “I’ll wear a costume after the war is over.”

    What a savage takedown, holy shit.

    Zelenskyy is a class act. America doesn’t deserve to even be sitting at the same table as this guy.

        I did not know that! Well, today I learned something cool. Well, even if it wasn’t meant as a jab, it still projects a lot of strength on his part - he has once again proven that he’s dedicated to ending the war, not staying in power or cultivating wealth, or playing at political theater. Gotta respect that.

      Fun fact: the French word for “suit” is “costume.” I wonder if Zelenskyy was aware of his multilingual pun.

        Suit in Ukrainian is listerally “костюм”, in Latin script “kostyum”. Which is pronounced close enough.

        I am not sure if it was intended, but hilarious nevertheless.

          I’m sure it’s intended. The man was a comedian, and he’s been criticised for not wearing a suit before. He’s had this line in the chamber for a while, now he’s showing the world how a professional deals with hecklers.

      All they achieved with this ambush is to show the difference in quality between Zelenskyy and trump/vance. The contrast is stark. Those two guys would have shat themselves in a reverse situation.
