“Your money is not charity, it’s an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way,” Zelensky said during an address to a joint session of Congress.
Zelensky gave a Ukrainian battle flag to the United States lawmakers following an address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.
Zelensky said the flag was from the frontline city of Bakhmut, which he visited a day before making his first trip outside Ukraine since Russia invaded in February.
Zelensky also vowed his country would never surrender to Russia as he addressed a joint session of the US Congress on Wednesday night.
“Ukraine holds its lines and will never surrender,” he said.
