Title: Fakers and Faux Paws: The Upside-Down Pants Controversy
Published May 11th, 2025 - 07:01 GMT FacebookTwitterWhatsAppShare An image seemingly showing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a fashion faux pas has sparked a flurry on social media. ❗️ ALBAWABA - A controversial image of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has gained traction online as he was speculated to be sporting his pants backwards.
In the snap taken during his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Kyiv on May 10, Zelenskyy was photographed beside his wife, Olena Zelenska. Yet, the image raises eyebrows as the president appeared to have a zipper on the back of his pants, sparking accusations that he wore them backwards.
Popular opinion on social media platforms doesn't mince words, with users commenting, "Zelenskyy put his pants on backwards." 🔥
The Truth Behind the Image: Tailoring Troubles or Toilet Humor?
Scraping the web for answers, question-pursuing platform Grok addressed the confusion, pronouncing that the image showing Zelenskyy in apparent back-to-front attire remains unverified.
X's Grok further stated that neither major news outlets nor credible sources have substantiated the claims surrounding the peculiar photo, making it a likely hoax. 🛑
