HERO surgeons on Ukraine’s frontline have mocked their US critics by asking “should we wear a suit?”
Frontline docs hit back after President Zelensky was accused of disrespecting America by wearing combat fatigues to the White House.

After saving a soldier’s life in a field hospital, army surgeon Captain Serhii asked: “Do they think we should wear suits too?”
Moments earlier The Sun had watched as Serhii was forced to push his gloved hands hands into a groaning soldier’s shrapnel wounds to pull out shards of metal and melted plastic.
His comments reveal widespread fury at the way Ukraine has been treated by President Trump.
The MAGA leader greeted Zelensky outside the White House last week by jeering: “You’re all dressed up today”.
Later a pro-Trump journalist asked: “Do you even own a suit?”
Nadiia, a nurse in Serhii’s field hospital team, fumed: “Our people are dying and they are asking us about suits.”
She blasted Donald Trump’s claims that Ukraine holds “no cards”.
She said: “Trump says we have no cards. I say he has no humanity.
“We have different values. We are fighting to save our lives. He is doing business.”
The Sun joined the medics in a mobile field hospital close to the Prokrovsk frontline – the focus of Russia’s fury.
We watched as a Ukrainian soldier arrived with horrific facial burns and shrapnel wounds to his leg, arms, and back from a Russian FPV drone.
Capt Serhii’s well-drilled team of four medics from Ukraine’s 59th Brigade worked in a converted sea container which had been decked out as a two bed operating theatre.
They asked us not to name the village where they were based as Russia has repeatedly targeted hospitals.
Serhii said the village had no suitable cellars so they were forced to work above ground exposed to Russian air strikes.
We watched as they cut off the soldier’s scorched uniform and removed his blood soaked bandages.
Then they sprayed and swabbed away charred before packing the soldier’s multiple puncture wounds with bandages soaked in disinfectant.
He was in and out of theatre in under 40 minutes and on his way to a safer hospital further from the frontline.
The operation took place on Sunday as King Charles met President Zelensky on Sunday and PM Sir Kier Starmer vowed to create a “coalition of the willing” to police any peace deal with Russia.
Marik, 32, an anaesthetist, joked that their mission in eastern Ukraine was to “make Donbas great again,” just Donald Trump’s mission is to “make America Great again”.
And he insisted the White Hosue spat with Zelensky had made Ukraine’s leader more popular.
He said: “There things I don’t agree with Zelensky on, but over this we all support him.
Marik joked: “The tradition in Ukraine is we love our president until he is elected, then they day he takes office we hate him.

“But only Ukrainians are allowed to hate our president, not outsiders.
“It is like an argument with your sister, you can disagree, but you still defend them from outsiders.”
Donald Trump suspended all military aid to Ukraine until Zelensky’s government shows a commitment to peace negotiations, a senior Trump administration official told Fox News.
Trump’s move might have an immediate impact on Ukrainian stockpiles, though some experts believe the country has enough weapons to fight until the summer at its current level.
It will affect all American military equipment not delivered to Ukraine, including weapons in transit and currently in Poland.
And US officials have called for Zelensky to step down.
Zelensky said he would step down if it meant Ukraine had Nato membership.
But he insisted Ukraine was “not for sale” and that only Ukrainians can chose their leader.
Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance was told to “wind his neck in” today after branding Britain “some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.
Some 636 Brits died fighting alongside the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan, with the comments branded “deeply offensive.”
Donald Trump‘s deputy made the remarks while pressing Volodymyr Zelensky to sign a minerals deal following their extraordinary dust-up in the Oval Office last week.
He also appeared to dismiss Sir Keir Starmer’s pledge to station peacekeeping troops in Ukraine following any ceasefire deal with Russia.
Mr Vance told Fox News: “If you want real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine.”
“That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years.”
