Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a virtual address to the U.S. Congress on Wednesday morning.
In addition to pleading for more military assistance against the Russian invasion and more sanctions against Russia, Zelensky suggested NATO and other postwar institutions have become obsolete and recommended replacing them with “new alliances” that could deter aggression and respond more effectively to humanitarian crises.
Zelensky began by saying “Glory to the heroes” and ended with “Glory to Ukraine.” He wore a military-style outfit and switched to English near the end, after delivering most of his brief address through a translator.
The Ukrainian president said his people have been “resisting Russian aggression” for the past eight years and were now fighting desperately to preserve their freedom and national identity.
“Russia went on a brutal offensive against our values,” he said. “They threw tanks and planes against our freedom.”
Zelensky linked Ukraine’s fight for freedom to American history on several occasions, in addition to portraying his country as a shield for Europe and its values against Russian aggression. Zelensky said Ukrainians have “the same dreams you have, you Americans,” and invoked the imagery of Mount Rushmore to describe America triumphing over a series of deadly threats to its liberty and values.
“In your great history, you have pages that would allow you to understand Ukrainians,” he said. “Remember Pearl Harbor, that terrible morning of December 7, 1941, when your sky was black from the planes attacking you. Remember September the 11th, a terrible day in 2001, when evil tried to turn your cities into battlefields, when innocent people were attacked from the air.”
“Our country experiences the same every day, right now, at this moment, every night for three weeks now,” Zelensky said, listing the many Ukrainian cities that have been damaged by Russian attacks.
