Zelensky appeals to legislatures of the world
Zelensky, who has become a household name across the world as a brave wartime president in the face of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, has directly spoken to legislatures around the world via teleconference.
He appealed to Congress for help last week in a historic speech, telling US lawmakers “we need you right now” as he invoked tragedies in American history like the attack on Pearl Harbor and the September 11 terrorist attack.
The speech, which was given as a virtual address to members of Congress, came as the United States is under pressure from Ukraine to supply more military assistance to the embattled country as it fights back against Russia’s deadly attack.
