Newhouse Calls Ukrainian President Zelesky’s Address to Congress “Powerful”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is pleading for more foreign help against the Russian invasion of his country, addressing members of Congress recently.

4th District Representative Dan Newhouse was there for the address and said Zelensky is asking for as much aid as possible from the west and its allies, including defensive weaponry. To Newhouse, Zelenksy's message was clear: that this is not a war between Russia and Ukraine, but instead an unwarranted attack on a democratic country by a dictator.

"He was speaking in Ukrainian, so through an interpreter I suppose it loses a little bit of its eloquence and deep-hearted feelings that he was trying to express." explained Newhouse, "Although he did finish up his speech in English, which was very powerful."

Zelensky's presentation also included images of the invasion's destruction.

Newhouse said, "I even saw a picture of a theater, where written on the pavement outside of the theater in letters large enough to be seen from the air was the word 'children' in Ukrainian. They (the Russians) bombed it."

Newhouse added that although this is a destructive and strictly offensive attack by Russia, the free countries of the world are responding.
