Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska has declined an invitation to attend President Biden's State of the Union address, according to reports.

Zelenska was intended to be seated next to U.S. first lady Jill Biden at the event on Thursday, according to The Washington Post. 

The two first ladies would also have been arranged next to activist Yulia Navalnya, the widow of deceased Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

No reason has been given for Zelenska declining to appear at the address, but the decision to seat her near Navalnya struck many intelligence experts as bizarre.

The late Alexei Navalny is not popular among the citizens of Ukraine due to past statements supporting Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014.

"The fact that Team Biden wanted to host Yuliya Navalnaya and Alyona Zelenskaya in the same room is screaming evidence that they have no clue about the cultural, ethnic, and political dynamics between the Russians and Ukrainians, Moscow and Kiev, etc," Russian-born U.S. military intelligence analyst Rebekah Koffler told Fox News Digital.

"Navalnaya and Zelenskaya are on the opposite sides – they are both nationalists, but one is a Russian nationalist and the other is Ukrainian. They cannot mix," Koffler continued. "Navalnaya, who has vowed to continue her husband’s work, is like her husband — a nationalist, pro-Russia, pro-Slavic. Navalny, like many Russian dissidents, was a nationalist who espoused xenophobic, anti-immigration, Russia for Russians only, Imperialist philosophy."

While Navalnaya later softened on the Russia-Ukraine issue and began showing more support for the smaller nation's fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion, his reputation never improved.

It’s pretty easy to see why she would decline.

Understandable since they weren't given the usual amount of time to prepare for this.

Yeah. I’m sure the First Lady of Ukraine (lol) is a very busy woman, helping in the war effort. By going on shopping sprees.

You have no idea, what scheduling conflicts she might have after being notified pretty much at the last minute and living halfway around the world.

Sure. I bet things are more important than treating the country you are demanding billions from for your war with a little respect.  Then again, Biden commands no respect. He works for them. They could end him at any moment and they know it.
