Ukraine mandatory military service lasts 12 -24 mths, and all males aged between 20 and 27 are eligible. So Yes, as a minimum, Zelenski would have done this training. And most likely as in most cases, after training, they keep the gear. I've seen lots of discharged soldiers still wearing their military gear, even years afterwards. Even if some one has never trained or been in the army, army surplus shops sell loads of army clothing gear, and very good quality stuff it is too. In Kabul street markets, you could get anything you wanted in the clothing line. ( probably stuff they should not be selling either)
Wait until he is asked about his war wound's, and then told " Prove it".......and meanwhile, every time he sits down he will be reminded of it,
Seems that the plumes visible in the video were not the result of missile strikes, but water vapor plumes' from cooling towers. Which when you think about it, would make sense, otherwise why would commercial ( or indeed any other non-military aircraft ) be flying in a war zone? What airline was it I wonder? It has "W" visible on the engine cover.
I don't think he served in army it's probably why he doesn't wear Ukrainian army combat gear.
"Against all odds, and doom and gloom scenarios, Ukraine didn't fall. Ukraine is alive and kicking."
This thread is renounded for fairytale fantasy twitter links but the truth is 2 million citizens have left Ukraine (with no return date) & a further 8 million have been displaced accross Europe's biggest country (Ukraine), & alarmingly a further 3 million Ukranians have also ended up in Russia.
Ukraine is far from alive and kicking
Russia did not become a terrorist state overnight, it was always a terrorist state
I sent them a few quid this year too
WTF was he doing in America if his time is so rare?
I doubt he flew economy
His attire to me was SPOT ON. The man is up to his neck in work that he should not be doing so TIME is of the utmost importance . So he should be spending ABSOLUTLY zilch time on his wardrobe. So he selects the most practical arrangement that does not ‘bother the mind’. Ie Same rigout every day, same colour every day - a colour that ‘suits the occasion at all times while this war is in progress. And spend all the hours that god has made available to him to deal with Putin/Russia
According to the press, he was wearing his trade mark military fatigues as he always does.
It wasn't military dress though, it was casual gear.
When the US ( or indeed Irish military) meet the President, they are dressed in their normal civilian military gear. Fair play to Zelelski, he visits the front lines as often as his own Government and military will allow, so he has every right to wear military gear, and of course, he would have done his military service, same as all Ukrainians do. Wearing military gear would be second nature for him. Slava Ukraini
The general consensus with colleagues at work is he should have wore a suit.
He's worth €20 million, a suit is as easy to wear as casual gear to the White House.
It seems hes trying to portray a persona of an active soldier. If it works fair play to him
How shallow can you get Tucker?
Dry cleaners or gents outfitters wouldn't be top of Zelensky's priority list right now
Another fire in orcland. Not the first fire since the worlds largest smokebomb has been in dock.
kremlin gnome injured in birthday buttock 😂
It's very good news for Ukrainians.
I won't bother.
Take the time read my posts since February and you'll know
For you, is that good news or bad news?
Let me guess. Russian soldiers are out of food out of rounds and freezing to death.
This is why I send € to Ukraine
Sick russian ****
What of that has anything to do with Russian morale?
There but for the grace of God go.......
It doesn't sound like there is much wrong with Russian morale just yet or running low on shells of any kind They are still sending missiles to any part of Ukraine that they want.
That could just as likely be a way of saying give us guns and artillery. There is no hope of the Russians going on the offensive again IMO. They are not capable of being what they have
Its not numbers that counts in this game it equipment and materials and the Russians are running out of them fast.
He is only looking for more equipment so he can go on the offencive
I see Ukraine's head army fella expecting another Russian offensive in spring- doesn't sound like the war is gonna be over anytime soon to me. Unless Putin gets the bullet!

They have very good experience of Ruzzian "Friendship" from the past, and the situation Putin now finds himself in, means he is unpredictable. He is looking for something to cover up his failure in Ukraine, so no one really knows what he will do as a cover up, and Finland is not (yet) a member of NATO. So I'd say Finland are just being prudent until they see how things develop.
Iron dome is what they really need, but that's another story.
Patriots to Ukraine
Allegedly, the dumbest restriction on Ukraine has been dropped,now, go get some...
