Olena Zelenska became the first wife of a foreign president in history to address the US Congress.
She addressed the congressmen on behalf of Ukrainian mothers and children and all citizens who died or suffered from Russian aggression.
“You help us very powerfully. While Russia kills, America saves. And you should know it. We thank you,” she noted.
At the same time, Olena Zelenska emphasized that the war is not over yet and Russia continues its terror.
“I’m asking for something now that I never wanted to ask for. I am asking you for weapons! Weapons not for waging war on someone else’s land, but to protect our home and the right to wake up in it alive. I am asking you for anti-aircraft defense – so that rockets do not kill children in their strollers. So that they do not destroy children’s rooms and entire families,” Olena Zelenska said.
According to Zelenska, the United States knows what terrorist attacks are and has always sought to defeat terrorism.
“So help us stop the terror against Ukrainians, and it will be our common great victory – in the name of life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness of every person, every family,” she stressed.
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy watched in Kyiv the live broadcast of the speech by First Lady Olena Zelenska in the US Congress.
