A powerful speech by #Zelensky --both measured and passionate, both defiant and tender--that delivered 3 messages to Americans: like you, Ukrainians value freedom and community and will not submit to tyranny; you're helping Ukr survive, but also investing in your security and the international order; Ukraine wants VICTORY.
Imo, the speech will resonate with ordinary Americans. Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert remained seated like sullen toddlers, but the rest of the Reps/Senators looked inspired.
Heart of Steel by Tvorchi, Ukraine’s next Eurovision song nails it:
You know I can never lose/
You like the attention too/
This has never been about you.

If you criticize Russia, you are helping Putin so should stay quiet.
If you do not criticize Russia, Putin will lie and say you are doing it anyway.
Say whatever you damn want.
