The President's speech in Congress began with an incredible ovation.
During the address to the Americans, the President handed over the Ukrainian flag to the congressmen at the request of Bakhmut's defenders.
During the 23 minutes of the performance, the audience gave our leader a standing ovation about 20 times.
Key theses of President Zelensky's speech in Congress:
• Against all obstacles and scenarios of doom, Ukraine did not fall. Ukraine is alive and well, — Zelenskyi;
• We defeated Russia in the battle for world consciousness. Russian tyranny has lost control over us;
• The Russians have been trying to seize Bakhmut since May - it is still standing;
• The occupiers have a significant advantage in artillery and other weapons, they drop everything they can on the cities, but our soldiers stand;
• Russia has found an ally in this genocidal war against Ukraine - it is Iran. Iranian kamikaze drones are hitting our infrastructure, so one terrorist has found another;
• Zelensky emphasized the importance of the supply of weapons and ammunition, as it is naive to expect steps towards peace from Russia;
• Zelensky reminded of the importance of sanctions and holding Russia accountable for aggression;
• Ukraine does not ask the Americans to fight for us, the Ukrainian military will be able to operate American tanks and planes.
The next year will be decisive in the war, — Zelenskyi.
Ukraine's struggle continues, and the Kremlin must be defeated on the battlefield.
"Our two nations are allies in this battle, and the next year, 2023, is a crucial time in it. This is the time when Ukrainian courage and American determination must guarantee the future of our freedom with you. The freedoms of people who stand for their values," Zelensky emphasized.
