Coin #7 honors President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s virtual address to members of the House and Senate on March 7th, 2022 in response to Russia’s vicious invasion of Ukraine.
In an impassioned Churchill-esque speech via Zoom from his office in Kyiv, President Zelenskyy won admiration of lawmakers from both parties to do more to protect his country and people against the brutal aggressions of Russia. It was a remarkably direct call to action by a wartime leader, making the case that aiding Ukraine was a moral imperative for a country that has promoted itself as the beacon of freedom and democracy for the entire world.
President Zelenskyy delivered an particularly emotional appeal to Congress through graphic and wrenching videos and images of his war-torn country saying “Right now, the destiny of our country is being decided, the destiny of our people, whether Ukrainians will be free, whether they will be able to preserve their democracy”
Zelenskyy’s concluding remarks were directed mainly at President Biden, “Today is not enough to be the leader of the nation. What it takes to the leader of the world, begin the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.” President Biden later address Congress by saying “What’s at stake here are the principles that the United States and the United Nations across the world stand for. It’s about freedom. It’s about the right of people to determine their own future”.
