Zelenskiy's EU address brings translator to tears as the Ukraine leader gets a standing ovation

A translator became emotional during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s speech to the European Parliament on Tuesday.

Zelenskiy spoke via video link from Kyiv during an emergency session of the European Parliament in Brussels.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy received thunderous applause after concluding his remarks at EU meeting when he said: "We are also fighting to be equal members of Europe. Without EU Ukraine is going to be lonesome. Do prove that you are with us & will not let us go."

European Union lawmakers, many wearing standwithUkraine T-shirts bearing the Ukrainian flag, others with blue-and-yellow scarves or ribbons, listened to Zelenskiy’s passionate speech.

The Ukrainian leader said 16 children were killed on Monday in Russian attacks across his country.

Zelenskiy has remained in Ukraine’s capital to rally his people against the invasion. As he spoke on Tuesday, a Russian armoured column was bearing down on Ukraine's capital.
