Ukrainian designer Viktor Anisimov, who created President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s suit for his most recent White House meeting with US President Donald Trump, believes a small "lucky charm" detail may have helped the Ukrainian president’s diplomacy efforts.
The detail itself was a back vent on the suit, which made it resemble a civilian suit rather than a military one. President Trump was reportedly impressed with the suit and personally complimented Zelenskyy’s appearance.
Indeed, it is hard to deny the diplomatic achievements of President Zelenskyy and his efforts to bring an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. It's been over three years since the devastating war between Russia and Ukraine began, and Zelenskyy has been on the ground supporting the Ukrainian people almost without pause.
