    “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.

      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.

      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.

          I don’t think it was an intentional pun.

        We can assume he is aware of it a lot more than the rubes in that room with him.

        It’s the same in Ukrainian (and Russian): костюм

        Honestly, the question’s stupidity wrote the pun.

      Just to clarify, in Russian and Ukrainian “costume” means “suit”.

        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.
