Army Green and Sleek Navy
LONDON — President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has landed within the U.K. in his signature green army sweater from U.S. clothing brand M-Tac.
He was greeted with an enormous hug by Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Stansted Airport in Essex, a county within the east of England. Meanwhile at 10 Downing Street, a red carpet was being rolled out awaiting Zelensky’s visit, where he posed with Sunak for a photo-op.
For the reason that Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, Zelensky has stripped off his politician uniform of sleek navy suits and dark jewel-tone ties for a utilitarian wardrobe of padded puffers; hooded fleece jackets; cargo pants, and Saucony dad trainers.
Zelensky’s recent look has mass appeal with most of the people, world leaders and celebrities becoming disciples of his mission for peace for Ukraine. At a fundraising event hosted in May 2022 by the Ukraine Embassy on the Tate Modern in London, Zelensky’s khaki green sweater sold for 90,000 kilos.
Sunak was business as usual in his slim-fitted tailored suit. The prime minister has previously worn Henry Herbert, a young, low-key tailor who doesn’t sit on Savile Row.
Each men have approached the concept of power dressing from different angles. Zelensky’s uniform is about resilience and power, whereas Sunak’s is about British sense and sensibilities, a picture that’s completely off-tune together with his predecessor Boris Johnson.
“The UK was certainly one of the primary to come back to Ukraine’s aid. And today I’m in London to personally thank the British people for his or her support and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for his leadership,” said Zelensky via his Telegram channel.
At Prime Minister’s Query Time within the House of Commons, Sunak said, “It’s a testament to the unbreakable friendship between our two countries and I’m proud that we’re expanding the training for Ukrainian forces to incorporate jet pilots and marines, and be certain that Ukraine has a military in a position to defend its interests today and into the long run.”
Zelensky might be meeting together with his Ukrainian troops who’re being trained in Britain, which Sunak has promised to further endorse by aiding extra military support and training the fighters in flying NATO-standard jets as a request of Zelensky.
Sunak desires to “ensure decisive military victory on the battlefield, this yr,” for Ukraine.
Zelensky addressed parliament in a speech that was attended by former British prime minister Boris Johnson.
The Ukrainian president praised Johnson’s efforts for helping Ukraine while he was in office.
“I actually have come here and stand before you on behalf of the brave, on behalf of our war heroes who at the moment are within the trenches under enemy artillery fire, on behalf of our air gunners, and each defender of the sky who protects Ukraine against enemy aircraft and missiles, on behalf of our tank men who fight to revive our Ukrainian borders, on behalf of our conscripts who’re being trained now including here in Britain. Thanks, Britain,” said Zelensky in his speech.
