Fervent Appeal : As Russia Completes One Month Of Invasion, Ukraine President Volodymr Zelenskyy Makes An Emotional Speech
Ukraine President Volodymr Zelenskyy called on people worldwide to gather in public on Thursday to show support for his embattled country on the one-month anniversary of the Russian invasion that he said breaks the heart of every free person on the planet.
Zelenskyy whose video messages have repeatedly riveted the world’s attention also said he would speak to NATO members by video to ask the alliance to provide effective and unrestricted support to Ukraine, including any weapons the country needs to fend off the Russian onslaught.
“Come to your squares, your streets. Make yourselves visible and heard,” Zelenskyy said in English during an emotional video address late Wednesday that was recorded in the dark near the presidential offices in Kyiv. “Say that people matter. Freedom matters. Peace matters. Ukraine matters,” he said.
