President Zelensky address to the Canadian Parliament (video)
[CBS] Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a powerful, personal appeal to Canada today to do more to help his embattled country withstand the invasion by Russia.He spoke via video link on Tuesday to Parliament, where he received sustained standing ovations from members of Parliament and senators. Zelensky spoke about the suffering experienced by the Ukrainian people and said that 97 children have been killed in the 20 days since the beginning of the war. In his speech, which was laced with references to Canadian cities and landmarks, Zelensky asked rhetorically how Canadians would feel if Russia laid siege to Vancouver or targeted the CN Tower in Toronto. He listed off some of the historic sites in Ukraine that have come under bombardment. "Imagine that Canadian facilities have been bombed similarly as our buildings and memorial places are being bombed," Zelensky said. "A number of families have died. Every night is a horrible night."
