  • Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska called for the world to continue to pay attention to the war in Ukraine and underscored the dire conditions Ukrainian students face during a visit to Georgetown University on Sept. 21.
    “I understand that there might be some fatigue. But to turn a blind eye would mean to turn your back to your own future,” said Zelenska. “No one can feel safe in a world where might is right, where who is strong is who is in charge.”
    Zelenska called for a Ukraine where students don’t have to read in bomb shelters - where they can study and learn in a university just like Georgetown students.
    “That students just like you would be able to study peacefully in their own country instead of dying from bombs in the streets of their own cities,” she said. “Literature teaches us that evil, aggression has to be punished. This should not be [the] precedent in the world. This is what our country is fighting for. I believe that with the help of people who care about the world, this will come to pass.”
    Zelenska was visiting the U.S. with her husband, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who addressed the U.N. General Assembly and met with President Joe Biden and members of Congress on the same day.
    Before meeting with First Lady Jill Biden, Zelenska met with Ukrainian students at Georgetown, which she called “a friend of Ukraine,” and addressed faculty, staff and students at an on-campus event hosted by the Georgetown Office of the President and the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS). GIWPS Executive Director Ambassador Melanne Verveer moderated a discussion with Zelenska, who gifted the university with 260 Ukrainian books as part of a project to share Ukrainian literature with libraries around the world.
