Spot on: Ukrainian campaign for Leopard tanks goes fashion

The hundreds of people posting Instagram selfies in leopard-print outfits in recent days launched fashion into geopolitics for Ukraine s successful campaign to get Germany s powerful Leopard battle tanks.

Just moments after Germany finally agreed to deliver 14 Leopard tanks on Wednesday, Presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak joined in posting the same number of leopard emojis.

Berlin also granted approval for other European countries to send tanks from their own stocks.

The move came after days of international pressure on Germany to sign off on the deliveries to Kyiv, which included a viral campaign from the Ukrainian government.

“Put on your favourite leopard clothes and post a selfie with #FreeTheLeopards,” Ukraine.ua, the country s official account, posted on Instagram Sunday.

“Let s bring Leopard tanks to Ukraine!”

Ukraina.ua was taking up a hashtag that appeared a few days prior and gained traction as pressure on Germany spilled over onto social media.

The video on Ukraine.ua featured an iconic scene from the movie “Fifth Element” with Ruby Rhod (played by Chris Tucker) prancing in a leopard-print jumpsuit and tanks covered in the same pattern.

The video received around 78,000 likes and triggered a flood of photos: people boasting matching nail designs, swimsuits or even furry overalls.

A photoshopped portrait of Ukraine s iconic 19th century poet Taras Shevchenko also made the rounds, his dark coat and hat covered in animal print.

“Now it s official: Leopards will come to Ukraine,” Ukrainian MP Yevgeniya Kravchuk, dressed in a leopard turtleneck, trumpeted on Facebook after Wednesday s announcement.

Kyiv is working to ensure Berlin s green light encourages other countries to send over more high-grade weapons.

“Let s keep working. Let s start dressing up like F-16 and ATACMS,” said young philosopher Sergey Koshman on Facebook, referring to the fighter planes and long-range American missiles that Ukraine has been requesting for months

Zara Hatke director on not casting Katrina Kaif: 'Don't think she can look like a middle class family ki bahu

Zara Hatke Zara Bachke features Sara Ali Khan and Vicky Kaushal as the lead pair. Now, the film’s director has spoken about not casting Katrina Kaif in film.

Laxman Utekar, who is all geared up for his next release Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, has reacted to a question on casting actor Katrina Kaif in his film. In a new interview, Laxman revealed why he couldn’t feature Katrina opposite her husband-actor Vicky Kaushal in Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.

Laxman said that he didn’t feel that Katrina can essay the role of a ‘middle-class joint family daughter-in-law’.

In Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, Sara Ali Khan will be seen opposite Vicky Kaushal. Jio Studios and Dinesh Vijan will present Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, slated to release in cinemas on June 2. Set in Indore, the film is a romantic comedy which follows the life of a middle-class married couple Kapil (Vicky) and Somya (Sara), who are seemingly headed for a divorce.

In an interview, Laxman Utekar said, “I can do only if Katrina understands my language. Do you think Katrina will look like a small town heroine? If we get a good script, I would love to work with Vicky and Katrina.”

He also added, “I wouldn’t get them onboard this time because Zara Hatke Zara Bachke is in a different space and the aura and personality Katrina has I personally didn’t feel she can look like a middle-class joint family daughter-in-law. If there is anything in the future that will suit them then why not.”

Earlier, news agency ANI had quoted Laxman as saying about the film, “This movie is close to my heart. It is a story that will resonate with audiences across the country. It is a film that is a perfect family watch that promises to entertain you throughout.”

Katrina was last seen in the horror comedy film Phone Bhoot alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan Khatter. She will be next seen in the upcoming action-thriller film Tiger 3 opposite actor Salman Khan.

The film is all set to hit the theatres on the occasion of Diwali 2023.
