During a February Oval Office meeting, President Trump and VP JD Vance abruptly confronted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

If anyone could convince him to change his look, it would be me,” said Viktor Anisimov, who was working to transform the Ukrainian president’s look even before it was questioned at a White House meeting.

In February, Volodymyr Zelensky met with Donald Trump and JD Vance in a disastrous summit in which he was chastised for failing to properly thank the US president and not wearing a suit

A summit in Paris six years ago was the first and only time the two presidents ever met, flanked by French president Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s then-chancellor Angela Merkel. At the time, Putin and Zelensky were looking to hash out a ceasefire deal for war in Donbas in Ukraine’s east, where Russia-backed forces were fighting Ukrainian troops.

The Ukrainian president’s outfit during his visit to the White House Monday reflects a change in approach since his disastrous meeting with US President Trump earlier this year.

The Ukrainian president’s black suit-style jacket drew praise in a meeting with President Trump after his attire sparked a testy exchange in February.

Trump is due to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, along with several European leaders, in Washington, D.C., on Monday.
