In Ukraine's fight against Russia's unprovoked, unjustified war, I’m proud to say they have not stood alone.

And on my watch, they never will. pic.twitter.com/2RV8dyXHxr
— President Biden (@POTUS) December 21, 2022

I thank @POTUS for the warm welcome and I deeply appreciate all the support of the U.S. and the American people. I am confident that together we will be able to secure a better, prosperous and free future for both of our nations. Ukraine’s victory will also be America’s victory. pic.twitter.com/OhclRtwIJy
— Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) December 22, 2022

This is a remarkable press conference. ⁦@POTUS⁩ just delivered a moving pledge of support for Ukraine, comparing them to the Hanukkah miracle: “a small band of warriors fighting for their values and their freedom against a much larger foe.” https://t.co/tl7GRVGoVx

Zelensky gets a standing ovation before he begins his speech to Congress. “Slava Ukraini!” (Glory to Ukraine!) some members of Congress shout out. “Heroyam Slava!” (Glory to heroes!) Zelebsly responds. pic.twitter.com/B4kxYJvaZg

Zelensky says “We defeated Russia in the battle for the minds of the world.” He’s already gotten two standing ovations. “We have to defeat the Kremlin on the battlefield… it’s not only for life of Ukrainians.” He says this battle is “for values.” Another ovation.
— Christopher Miller (@ChristopherJM) December 22, 2022

Zelensky invokes the Battle of the Bulge in describing the fight in Ukraine against Russian aggression. He says Ukraine is the frontline in the war against tyranny. “We have artillery. Yes. Thank you. Is it enough? Not really.” (Chuckles from the crowd.)
— Christopher Miller (@ChristopherJM) December 22, 2022

Standing ovations for Zelensky from all of Congress except far-right Republicans @mattgaetz and @laurenboebert who remained seated and looking at their phones.
— Christopher Miller (@ChristopherJM) December 22, 2022

Zelensky ends speech by presenting Congress with a Ukrainian flag he got from troops in Bakhmut yesterday. Incredibly powerful and historic speech. He walks off with a U.S. flag given by Pelosi to another standing ovation. pic.twitter.com/xHIhm9Tgyb

This small moment of him getting the US flag I think summarizes Zelensky leadership.

Pelosi - "Someone will carry it down"

Zelensky - "I can carry it"

And their shitty aircraft carrier catches fire (again).

A fire broke out on the only Russian aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov". Since 2018 Kuznitsov has been under repair in Murmansk which should continue until 2024.
This is not the first fire incident, in 2019, a fire broke out during which 2 people died and 14 were injured. pic.twitter.com/Zg4C6IFPvD
