The elegant ebony envelopes arrived on Sunday afternoon, containing an RSVP card and a message written in Chopin Script font:
You are invited to the March 1st announcement of Ukraine’s new borders.
Appetizers will be served from 5 to 6 pm, followed by the announcement and a champagne reception beginning at 6:30.
The event will be held at the Kyiv Sheraton.
We hope you can join us.
Sincerely, Vlad and Don
Neither Volodymyr Zelensky nor any of the NATO leaders who received the invitation have publicly indicated whether they will be attending. However, on Sunday evening a “hot mic” caught Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Støre telling a colleague, “I would rather be dipped naked in boiling tar and then slowly crushed on a bed of nails by a road paver than be seen at any ceremony hosted by those two dipwads.”
The gala will be broadcast by Fox News and include red-carpet interviews.
