Volodymyr Zelensky sent a strong message to Vladimir Putin that Ukrainian soldiers will keep fighting fiercely against Russian forces for every bit of land, not giving up easily.
The leader of Ukraine used a quote from Abraham Lincoln, a well-known past president of the United States, to inspire people during his visit to Washington DC on Thursday.
After having a meeting with the current president Joe Biden and speaking to a group of people at the US National Archives Museum, Mr. Zelensky shared a series of messages on X, which used to be called Twitter.
He praised the strong Ukrainian military for working hard to defend against Russian fighters and push them away.
‘Today, I saw some important papers at the National Archives. One of the papers was a message from Abraham Lincoln to General Grant,’ he wrote.
A document that motivates and encourages people. “Grab on tight like a bulldog, and bite and struggle as much as you can. ”
President Lincoln’s words show how brave and strong America was. President Lincoln’s words accurately describe the way Ukrainians engage in combat.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is giving a speech at the National Archives building in Washington on Thursday, September. On the 21st of January, 2023.
We won battles for Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Snake Island in the Black Sea.
In our fight for Bakhmut, our soldiers are constantly moving forward, no matter what happens. In our effort to protect every part of Ukraine’s land.
Every day during this war, Ukrainian soldiers are holding strong, just like a bulldog holding onto something tightly.
“They constantly attack and fight against the Russian invaders as best they can. “
During his previous meeting at the White House, Mr. Biden proposed a new military aid package valued at £244 million, which includes weapons and defenses against air attacks.
Mr Zelensky, wearing military clothes with long sleeves, tried to gain more support from the US during his quick visit to the Capitol.
President Biden and first lady Jill Biden greeted Mr. Zelensky and his wife, Olena Zelenska. Zelensky expressed gratitude towards members of Congress for their significant support.
Mr Biden assured Mr. Zelensky that the American people are determined to make sure that we do everything possible to make sure other countries support Ukraine.
“Our main goal is to greatly surpass our objective. ”
When Zelensky got to the White House, he was welcomed with a big show, just like when he came last year.
He was welcomed with a special entrance on a red carpet in the South Lawn. Then, he spent time in the Oval Office and had a bigger meeting in the East Room. The two first ladies also had time alone together. This was a more impressive reception than what world leaders usually receive.
Lawmakers said that someone claimed that the Ukrainians have a good war plan and that they are currently winning. This is important because many countries around the world are paying attention to how much support Western countries are giving to Kyiv.
Mr Zelensky admitted that it is difficult, very difficult to overcome strong defenses, according to Independent senator Angus King.
They think they will make progress, but it will be slow and steady, not fast.
Russia and Ukraine have launched very powerful attacks against each other in the war in the past few days.
On Wednesday, Putin strongly hinted at the number of young Russians he has sent to die in the war in Ukraine.
