Ukraine, U.S., Europe have already defeated Russia in their minds – Zelensky to U.S. Congress

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said this during an address to U.S. Congress in Washington on Wednesday.

“Our first joint victory – we defeated Russia in the battle for minds of the world!” emphasized the Head of the Ukrainian State.

He noted that this victory gave the Ukrainians courage which inspires the world. It allowed Americans to unite the global community in protecting freedom and international law. Europeans have also gained victory in this area, and that is why Europe is now stronger and more independent than ever.

“The Russian tyranny has lost control over us and it will never influence our minds again,” Zelensky emphasized.

He also expressed his conviction that the countries of the Global South should also gain such victory.

“Russians will stand a chance to be free only when they defeat the Kremlin in their minds,” the President of Ukraine noted.

Yet, he emphasized that the battle continues and the Kremlin must be defeated on the battlefield.

“This battle is not only for the territory, for this or another part of Europe. The battle is not only for life, freedom and security of Ukrainians or any other nation which Russia attempts to conquer. This struggle will define in what world our children and grandchildren will live, and then their children and grandchildren,” the Head of the Ukrainian State emphasized.

President of Ukraine Zelenskyy, during his U.S. visit handed over to Congress during his address to both chambers a battle flag from the front line, which should become a symbol of the joint victory of Ukraine, the U.S. and the entire free world.

“When I was in Bakhmut yesterday, our heroes gave me the flag. The battle flag. The flag of those who defend Ukraine, Europe, and the world at the cost of their lives,” he said. “They asked me to bring this flag to you, to the U.S. Congress, to the members of the House of Representatives and senators, whose decisions can save millions of people.”

According to Zelensky, this “flag is a symbol of our victory”.

“We stand, we fight and we will win. Because we are united. Ukraine, America, and the entire free world,” the president added.

Zelensky proceeded to present the flag to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.

As reported, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday arrived in the USA on an official visit.
