The Translator Wept

This happened on March 1, a week after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave a speech to the European Parliament. A veteran German interpreter who was translating for a German news outlet broke down and was talking through his tears with a choked voice while translating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's speech.

Keep in mind that the translator is German, not Ukrainian. The speech moved everyone. Behind her mask, EU president Ursula von den Leyen is fighting back tears.

Glory to Ukraine!
