1:36Now PlayingUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to the U.S. comes as Joe Biden and Congress reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine.
RELATEDZelenskyy'From now on, Russia will only be a pawn'
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the comedic actor turned Ukrainian leader, delivered perhaps the most dramatic performance of his career Wednesday, embarking on a whirlwind tour that culminated in an address to Congress where he urged lawmakers to keep sending aid to his war-ravaged nation.
“Your money is not charity,” he told his congressional audience, which included some Republicans wary of sending a "blank check" to Ukraine when they take over the House in January. “It’s an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way.”
Still, Zelenksyy earned bipartisan applause for his comments – defiantly noting that, while more assistance is needed, no amount of Russian troops and missiles can bludgeon the will of his people: "Ukraine is alive and kicking."
