Following comments made about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s attire during his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice-President JD Vance on Feb. 28 in the Oval Office, members of the Ukrainian Club of Moncton, N.B., are rallying in support of the leader.
Natalia Haidash, a volunteer with the club, expressed frustration over the attention given to Zelenskyy’s clothing.
“Whenever I see that events in Ukraine take a turn in the wrong direction, I know the best cure for that is to take some action,” she said.
The club is now selling black long-sleeve shirts featuring the Ukrainian trident, inspired by Zelenskyy’s. The idea came after a Facebook message from one of the club’s members asking if the club sold “Zelenskyy-style shirts.” Haidash shared the concept with fellow volunteers, who quickly got behind the initiative.
In just over a week, the club has received more than 150 orders for the shirts, with requests coming from across the country.
