303 days of war in Ukraine.

The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, told the US Congress on Wednesday that their support is “vital” not only to resist the Russian invasion, but to achieve a “turning point” on the battlefield. To this he added a clarification on the North American investment in the conflict: “Your money is not charity. And thanks for the money that you are about to approve, because your money is for democracy and global security“.

The request for a new investment to defend Ukraine against Russia was made by making references to historic battles with the United States as the protagonist, such as that of Saratoga. In his long-awaited speech, which lasted half an hour and was interrupted several times by applause from the chamber, he made it clear that the aid granted should not be seen as a show of charity, but rather as an “investment” in the democracy.
