KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urges the United States to remain united, as questions hover over American support for his country following midterm elections to determine control of the US Congress.
“I call on you to maintain unwavering unity, as it is now, until that very day when we all hear those important words we have been dreaming of … Until we hear that peace has finally been restored. Democracies must not stop on their way to the victory,” he says in a recorded address, receiving the US Liberty Medal.
