Ignatius: Zelensky’s Bravery Makes Everybody in the West Want to Stand with Him

‘There were many people that thought that Zelensky wouldn’t go back to Kyiv’

EXCERPT:

IGNATIUS: "These images I think we’ll remember for many years. There were many people who thought that Zelenskyy wouldn’t go back to Kyiv. I can remember being in Munich when he gave a speech and people would whisper, 'Well, he’s not going back.' He finished his speech saying, 'I woke up this morning in Kyiv and I’m going to go to bed tonight in Kyiv,' and, by golly, he did. Now we have gotten used to these images of him. He is clearly a man who has decided, 'I will die here if I have to, to stand up for my country’s freedom.' I think that image, that bravery has stuck with all of us and makes everybody in the west want to stand with him. Again, we will see the message he brings to the United States Congress tomorrow. It's going to be a key moment. It is going to put a lot of pressure on the Biden Administration to do more, and I think they’re going to have to think very carefully, what more can we do without risking World War III. Everybody is going to want to stand with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that’s for sure."
