Ukrainian first lady to US Congress: 'Stop this terror'
Source: AFP
Ukraine's first lady made an emotional pitch Wednesday to US lawmakers for more weapons to fight Russian invaders, saying she spoke for millions of parents fearing for their children.
Taking a cue from her husband President Volodymyr Zelensky, who showed graphic images during his virtual appearance before the US Congress, Olena Zelenska -- who appeared in person -- displayed images of joyful children who were killed or maimed by Russia.
Among them was Liza Dmitrieva, a four-year-old with Down's syndrome pictured in her mother's video happy on her stroller an hour before she was killed by a Russian strike last week in Vinnytsia.
"We want every father and every mother to be able to tell their child, 'Go to sleep peacefully, there will be no more air strikes, no more missile strikes.' Is this too much to wish for?" Zelenska said.

a comment on this story from DU:
"4. I agree with the First Lady-
Stop this Terror.
And while they’re at it, they might try to stop the terror on the people of the United states as well. In some states, women have been downgraded to baby-factories.
Yes, Ukraine needs all the help we can provide, and then some. Please don’t misunderstand my comment.
I’m just so sick of all the crap that is being slung the world over.
I haven’t slept properly for months. I was getting better after Biden was inaugurated, for awhile anyway. But, now with SCOTUS, and Ukraine, and the mid-terms, and the world economic upheaval and COVID resurgence and wild fires and authoritarianism and REPUBLICANS, and Jan 6, I can’t even breath."

Let’s hope she does in fact stop breathing.
