First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska called on the United States of America to provide our state with more weapons and air defense systems to counter the Russian invasion. She said this during a speech before both houses of the US Congress..

" On behalf of those who have lost arms and legs. On behalf of people still alive and whole. From those who are fighting and who are waiting for their relatives from the front line. I'm asking for the thing I wish I never asked. I ask you for a weapon. Weapons are not to carry war on foreign soil.

And to protect your home and the right to wake up alive in it.

I ask you for air defense. So that rockets do not kill children in their strollers, do not destroy children's rooms and entire families,"

The First Lady also thanked the Americans, in particular, President Joe Biden and the US Congress, for the assistance already rendered to Ukraine in the struggle for human lives and the independence of the state..

" And you should know about it,"
