Zelenskiy Gives Emotional Address To U.S. Congress On War In Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed directly to U.S. lawmakers Wednesday with an emotional request for additional financial support, weaponry and a no-fly zone to help his country fend off the Russian invasion, a remarkably rare speech that effectively circumvented the White House and went directly to the American people.
“Friends, Ukraine is grateful to the United States for its overwhelming support for everything that your government and your people have done for us,” Zelensky said, speaking mostly through a translator. “I call on you to do more.”

The first virtual address by a foreign leader to Congress — and certainly the first delivered by a T-shirt clad leader in a war-torn foreign capital — landed powerfully with lawmakers who almost universally said more needs to be done to help the Ukrainian people.

Zelensky’s 17-minute speech had a deeply personal, emotional appeal. He likened the Russian invasion in Ukraine to some of America’s darkest moments: Dec. 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor and Sept. 11, 2001, in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
