    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.

        criticized for not wearing a suit

        Sometimes I don’t understand people. I’d love to see more politicians in normal clothes. It’s kind of childish to expect a suit for no reason, isn’t it?
