Zelensky tells US Congress that Ukraine “stands firm and will never give up”

The Ukrainian president assured, in a speech in English, that his country continues its resistance against the Russian invaders.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a speech to the US Congress, which cheered him as he entered, on Wednesday that Ukraine would never surrender to Russia.

Received by a standing ovation from the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the Ukrainian president, dressed in his traditional khaki attire, in English and with the utmost solemnity, said: “Contrary to the most dire predictions, Ukraine has not fallen. Ukraine is alive and fighting.”

“Russian tyranny no longer has control over us,” he repeated, cheered on several times during a vibrant twenty-minute speech, which concluded his first trip abroad since the invasion of Ukraine on February 24.

Beyond the lyricism, the Ukrainian president has tried to convince Congress, which will partly side with the Republicans in January, to continue its massive aid.

“I would like to thank you, thank you very much for the economic aid that you have given us and the ones that you could decide,” he said.
