I am impressed that the leader of Ukraine shows up regularly in a t-shirt and jeans. It doesn't matter how you look, it matters what you say and do.

Well, he have fully embraced his role as a freedom fighter, leder and role model for his people. Talk about the right man for the job. <3

If anyone actually deserves to be called "leader of the free world", its this guy.
mccar7hy
I don't really expect him to be wearing a suit right now
tinyviking1976
Might not have access to his full wardrobe right now
RogueEnthusiast
He’s the president of Ukraine. Semantics matter.
Magus25
Testicles that large won't fit in suit pants anymore. You need denim to hold up those bad boys.
Almaneus
It's Zelenskyy folks
Ploty
Could be a coffin any time soon, so I enjoy it while I can
andaction
Also makes him less identifiable “in the field”. My guess is he’s primarily being practical and unpretentious.
notreallyamorningperson
Who in the shit is putting on a suit for a public address in a city suffering invader bombardment?! A suit would look absurd right now.
orangeyougladididntsaypoop
Zelenskyy
codeacrobat
He looks perfect. The dude I'd want as president.
hogeyegrex
To be fair, he looks pretty good in a T-shirt and jeans.
WillTheRealObiWanPleaseStandUp
To be faaaaaaair
insomniac24x7
@OP he is dressed in tactical gear, not jeans. He is constantly on the move and he needs to be ready go. His life is in grave danger 24x7
TexasBear05
Understood. Thank you for the correction.
insomniac24x7
Even in the presidential palace or bunkers (we really won’t know where he is at any given time) he changes rooms every random amount of time
Moorglademover
Man of the Year, right there
TheRealPumpkinQueen
I know this is superficial, but I am extremely attracted to him now.
PutItInNeutral
As Time Magazine's Person of the Year from 2006, I concur.
MostAwesomeAveragePerson
I had to look it up. Good one!

Putin is unfortunately more likely to get the title from Time. It's awarded to the most impactful people, not most popular.
Magjee
They will probably do something weird, like give it to the resistance fighters

In rod we trust

Russo-ukrainian war is basically Boomers vs Generation X/Millenials war also. The old geezers who destroyed earth last stand.
SergeyPrkl
And Putin vs Zelenskyi is great example of the faces of these arch types.

LegosBearsAndSex
He be lookin' fine af in that green shirt tho!! Slavia Ukraine!!!
aNamelessCreature
I hope suits go out of style and I hope this guy is why
purdhapley
A suit and tie aren’t really bunker attire.
malbec
They local Laundromat has been temporarily blown up
delpharseven
Hasn't he been working from his normal office?
OuchMouse
TBF I think he’s in “an unethical nuclear army is trying to kill me and everyone is scared about WW3” attire.
tomyironmane
OD Green shirt, checks out.
TheN8
"Neo-apocalyptic chic" if you will.
hogeyegrex
AKA, zero fucks attire.
NoGunsNoCats
Macron's been copying - yeah that doesn't work out so well.
Kirj4v4
I thought it was Zelenskyy*
Jakedabrake
It doesn't matter since it's spelled using Cyrillic letters anyway. Just write it in a way that makes you pronounce it correctly.
olivertheoctopus
The Russians spell it Zelensky and Ukrainians spell it Zelenskyy. Like Kiev and Kyiv, The Ukraine and Ukraine, it matters now
Jakedabrake
I doubt Russians spell it with latin letters. As I said, the important thing is the correct pronunciation.
Jakedabrake
If that happens to be Suh-lenski it would still be correct.

He really knows how to win the people of social media for him.
CanadianEngineer
Yes, being all the things we wish our leaders were tends to do that..
TyrionOfHouseLannister
Plot twist, that's what a leader is supposed to do.
imgurschmimgur
Yep, and apparently world leaders too! Putin thought having an actor in power in UA was his perfect chance. Smart man beats "strongman"
Einherion
Consider the normal actor president he owns. Makes sense to me why Putin thought what he did.
Regeny
A suit wouldn't fit the "I stand and fight by my people" strategy. This man is a professional actor and media expert and that helped a lot.
mmartin762
I mean he has been seen in a suit, and he did look fresh as hell, but I see what you mean.
Chimichanga007
Or, ya know, priorities.
potshot
He's fighting the war on the social media front and is crushing it. There's no shame in using rhetoric and symbolism to win those battles.
anerdwithaknife
And also plate carriers really messes up your suit jacket.
Shabez
Creating and maintaining image is definitely big part of it. Security is another; in chaotic environment it’s better to blend in.
Giantmutantcrab
He is also 44 years old so is a LOT closer to his fellow citizens then some obese, demented orange turd who was born in wealth.

Perhaps the only time a TV president was the perfect choice to lead a country.
RelartOfGivia
The TV show that launched his presidency is so meta.
Regeny
His approval dropped from 70% in 2019 when he was elected to below 30% in 2022. Now it probably went up notably.
xoShiseUGA
True, but in these days he's the right one to lead. Maybe not before, maybe not after the war. But in these moments
daromander
How can you judge he's the right one? He's doing a good job but there might be someone better who doesn't have the chance to show it
notinterestednow
Leadership is about communicating and inspiring. He's doing great there. And war makes leadership extra important. Simple math really.
