English: Voice of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine (2019–present), during his address to a joint session of the United States Congress. "Against all odds, and doom and gloom scenarios, Ukraine didn't fall," said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as he began his remarks to a joint meeting of Congress on U.S. support for Ukraine in its war against Russia’s invasion. He thanked Congress for the United States' financial assistance, but said, "Your money is not charity. It's an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way." As President Zelensky ended his remarks, he presented to Congress a "battle" flag from the front lines of Ukraine, calling it a "symbol of our victory in this war." As the president concluded, outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in turn presented to him an American flag that was flown over the U.S. Capitol earlier in the day in honor of his visit.
