Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday addressed the US Congress as a wartime leader appealing for American support, as British Prime Minister Winston Churchill did more than 80 years before. Zelensky's visit to Washington -- much like Churchill's in December 1941 -- came with his country under relentless attack and international aid essential to its ability to fight on."Ukraine holds its lines and will never surrender," Zelensky told Congress, echoing one of Churchill's most famous phrases and earning a standing ovation. Zelensky earlier this year channeled Churchill in a video address to Britain's House of Commons, pledging to "fight in the forests, in the fields, on the shores, in the streets." For more on the wartime president's daring trip to Washington, FRANCE 24 is joined by Political Analyst Alexandra Filippenko from Vilnius, Lithuania.
