British newspaper The Telegraph published a caricature of President Zelensky after his trip to Washington, DC

On Sunday, 19 October, the British newspaper The Telegraph published a cartoon in which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appears in a white T-shirt with the sarcastic inscription: "I went to Washington and all I got was this lousy T-shirt".

This image appeared against the background of his evening video address to Ukrainians, with Ukrainian flags in the background.

The cartoon was created by renowned political artist Christian Adams, who has previously repeatedly mocked both British politicians and world leaders, including Donald Trump.

The drawing was a reaction to Zelensky's recent visit to Washington, D.C., where he met with U.S. President Donald Trump on 17 October. During the meeting, Zelensky expressed hope for the delivery of Tomahawk missiles, but Trump made it clear that the US was not ready to hand over these systems to Ukraine, at least for the moment, citing the priority of diplomacy.

Axios reported that Trump denied Zelensky's request, while CNN described the conversation as "tense and uncomfortable", adding that Ukraine would have to wait to receive the Tomahawk.
