以下是泽伦斯基在美国国会演讲的全文:
非常感谢！
议长女士(美国众议院议长佩洛西)、国会议员们、女士们、先生们、美国的朋友们:
我很自豪地从乌克兰向你们问好，我们的首都基辅每天都在遭受俄罗斯军队的导弹和空袭， 但我们并没有放弃。我们之前甚至一秒钟都没有想过放弃，自己会处于第二次世界大战以来最严重的战争中，就像我们美丽国家的许多其他城市和社区一样。我很荣幸代表乌克兰人民向您们问好。勇敢和热爱自由的人民，八年来一直在抵制俄罗斯的侵略(注:指俄罗斯在 2014 年夺取了克里米亚半岛)。
我们的人民派出了他们最棒的儿女，以阻止俄罗斯的全面入侵。我国的命运正在决定人民的命运，乌克兰人是否将获得自由，他们是否能够维护他们享有的民主。俄罗斯不仅攻击了我 们，攻击了我们的土地，我们的城市，它还对我们的价值观，人类的基本价值观进行了残酷的进攻。它通过坦克和飞机反对我们的自由，反对我们在自己国家自由生活的权利，反对我们对幸福的渴望，反对我们的民族梦想，就像您们美国人，就像在美国的其他任何人一样的梦想。
我记得你们拉什莫尔峰的国家纪念碑(注:即总统山)，那些杰出总统的面庞，那些为今天的美利坚合众国奠定了基础，为民主、独立、自由和关怀每个人，为勤奋工作、诚实生活、尊重法律者奠定了基础的总统们。
在乌克兰，我们也想为人民带来这些。
哦，那是你生活中正常的一部分。女士们，先生们，朋友们，美国人们，在您们伟大的历史中，有几页可以让您们理解乌克兰人。现在，我们需要您们的理解。
您们记得珍珠港事件，1941 年 12 月 7 日那个可怕的早晨，你们的天空因为飞机的袭击而一片漆黑。您们记得 2001 年 9 月 11 日那可怕的一天，恐怖分子试图把美国城市变成战场，无 辜的人遭到空中袭击。
是的，空中袭击。
就像其他人没有预料到的那样，我们也无法阻止它。此时此刻，我国每天都在经历同样的事情。每天晚上都是这样，已经持续三个星期了。俄罗斯已经把乌克兰的天空变成了成千上万 人的死亡之源。
俄罗斯军队已经向乌克兰发射了近 1000 枚导弹，无数的炸弹，他们用无人机精确地杀死我们。这是欧洲从未见过的恐怖，80年来从未见过。
我们要求全世界对这一恐怖行为作出回应。在乌克兰上空建立一个禁飞区，以拯救人民，这个要求是否太过分？在乌克兰设立人道主义禁飞区，俄罗斯将无法恐吓我们的自由城市。
如果这要求太高的话，我们提供一个替代方案。你们知道我们需要什麽样的防御系统，S-300 导弹防御系统或其它类似的系统。你知道在战场上的胜败有多依赖调动飞机的能力。强大的飞机能保护我们的人民和土地自由，可以帮助乌克兰，帮助欧洲。您们知道有这样的飞机， 您们拥有这样的飞机，它们在地面上，没在乌克兰的天空上飞，它们并没有保护我们的人民。
“我有一个梦想”这句话今天您们每个人都知道。我可以说，“我有一个需要”。我需要保护我们的领空。我需要您们的决定，您们的帮助。这句话的感觉，和您们听到“我有一个梦想” 这句话时的感觉一样。
女士们，先生们，朋友们，乌克兰感谢美国提供的压倒性支持，感谢贵国政府和人民为我们所做的一切，为我们提供武器弹药，为我们提供培训，为我们提供资金。您们在自由世界的 领导地位，帮助我们在经济上向侵略者施压。我感谢拜登总统的亲自参与，感谢他对保卫乌克兰和全世界民主的真诚承诺。我感谢您的决议，承认所有对乌克兰犯下罪行的人都是战犯。
然而现在，对我国，对整个欧洲来说，确实是最黑暗的时刻。
我呼吁您们出台更多新的一揽子制裁措施，每週不断，直到俄罗斯的军事机器停止发动。我们建议美国制裁俄罗斯联邦的所有政治家，从国家杜马成员，到最后一个缺乏勇气打破国家 恐怖的官员。他们仍然端坐在办公室里，不与那些对侵略乌克兰负责的人切断联系。
所有美国公司必须离开俄罗斯市场，立即离开，因为那里充斥著我们的血液。女士们，先生们，国会议员们，请带头做起，如果您的选区有资助俄罗斯军事机器的公司，您应该施加压 力要求他们停止在俄罗斯的业务。我要求确保，俄罗斯人不能收到一分钱用来摧毁乌克兰人民，摧毁我们的国家，摧毁欧洲。所有美国港口应该对俄罗斯货物关闭。
我们的和平比收入更重要，必须在全球捍卫这一原则。我们已经成为反战联盟的一部分，这是一个联合了几十个国家的联盟。这些国家对俄罗斯入侵我国的决定作出了反应，但我们需 要继续推进，做得更多。我们需要创造新的工具，以对 2 月 24 日开始的全面入侵迅速作出反应并阻止战争。而如果它能在 24 小时内结束，邪恶立即受到惩罚，那将是公平的。
如今的世界并没有这样的工具。过去的战争促使我们的先辈建立了应该保护我们免遭战争的机构。但不幸的是，这些机构并没有发挥作用。我们看到了，你们也看到了，所以我们需要新的机构，新的联盟，我们建议建立 U24 和平联盟(U24 Association for Peace)，这是一个由负责任的国家组成的联盟，这些国家有力量和意识来立即停止衝突， 在 24 小时内提供所 有必要的援助。如果有必要，甚至提供武器，制裁，人道主义支持，政治支持，财政，一切能维持和平，迅速拯救世界，拯救生命的措施。
此外，这样的联盟可以为那些正在经历自然灾害、人为灾难的人提供帮助，他们成为人道主义危机或流行病的受害者。您们记得吗，世界做最简单的事情也有那么多困难，只是接种新冠疫苗以拯救生命，预防新变种，就花了几个月、几年的时间才做成。我们需要更迅速地釆取行动，以确保没有人员损失，没有受害者。女士们，先生们，美国人们，如果今天有这样的联盟，我们本将能够拯救我国数以万计的生命，拯救世界上许多国家渴望和平者的生命， 那些遭受非人道破坏者的生命。
我请你们看一段俄罗斯军队在我国土地上所做之事的视频录像（视频截图），我们必须阻止它。我们必须阻止每一个试图征服其他国家的侵略者，请观看视频。
最后，容我总结一下。今天，只做一个国家的领导人是不够的，而是要成为世界的领导人。 这意味著要成为和平的领导人。您国的和平不再取决于您和您的人民，而是取决于您旁边的 那些国家，那些强国。
强，并不等于“大”。
强大是指勇敢并准备好为本国公民和世界公民的生命而战。为了自由，为了人权，为了过上好日子的权利，是在大限到来时从容赴死的权利，而不是受制于他人，在您的邻国想要您死去的时候死去。
如今，乌克兰人民不仅是在保家卫国，也正在为欧洲和世界的价值观而战，以未来的名义牺牲我们的生命。这就是为什麽今天美国人民不仅在帮助乌克兰，更是在帮助欧洲和世界，让世界活下去。美国要在历史上留下公正。
如今，我已经快 45 岁了。今天，我的生命随著 100 多个孩子停止跳动的心脏也一同停止了。 如果不能阻止死亡，我的生命就毫无意义。
这是我作为我的人民领袖的主要任务，他们是伟大的乌克兰人。作为这个国家的领导人，我想对拜登总统说，您也是一国的领导人，带领这个伟大的国家。我希望您能成为世界的领导人，这意味著成为和平的领导人。
谢谢。荣耀归于乌克兰!

英文：
Thank you very much. Madam Speaker, members of the Congress, ladies and gentlemen, Americans, friends, I’m proud to greet you from Ukraine, from our capital city of Kyiv, a city that is under missile and airstrikes from Russian troops every day. But it doesn’t give up, and we have not even thought about it for a second.
Just like many other cities and communities in our beautiful country which found themselves in the worst war since World War II. I have the honor to greet you on behalf of the Ukrainian people, brave and freedom-loving people who for eight years have been resisting the Russian aggression.Those who give their best sons and daughters to stop this full-scale Russian invasion.
Right now the destiny of our country is being decided. The destiny of our people, whether Ukrainians will be free, whether they will be able to preserve their democracy. Russia has attacked not just us, not just our land, not just our cities; it went on a brutal offensive against our values, basic human values. It threw tanks and planes against our freedom, against our right to live freely in our own country choosing our own future.Against our desire for happiness, against our national dreams, just like the same dreams you have, you Americans.Just like anyone else in the United States.
I remember your national memorial in [Mount] Rushmore, the faces of your prominent presidents, those who laid the foundation of the United States of America as it is today — democracy, independence, freedom and care for everyone, for every person, for everyone who works diligently, who lives honestly, who respects the law. We in Ukraine want the same for our people. All that is a normal part of your own life.
Ladies and gentlemen, friends, Americans, in your great history, you have pages that would allow you to understand Ukrainians, understand us now when you need it right now. When we need you right now.
Remember Pearl Harbor. Terrible morning of December 7, 1941, when your sky was black from the planes attacking you. Just remember it. Remember September 11th, a terrible day in 2001 when evil tried to turn your cities, independent territories in battlefields. When innocent people were attacked from air. Just like nobody else expected it, you could not stop it.
Our country experienced the same every day. Right now, at this moment, every night for three weeks now, various Ukrainian cities……Russia has turned the Ukrainian sky into a source of death for thousands of people. Russian troops have already fired nearly 1,000 missiles at Ukraine, countless bombs, they use drones to kill us with precision. This is a terror that Europe has not seen, has not seen for 80 years and we are asking for a reply, for an answer to this terror from the whole world.
Is this a lot to ask for, to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine to save people? Is this too much to ask? Humanitary, no-fly zone, something that Russia will not be able to terrorize our free cities.
If this is too much to ask, we offer an alternative. You know, what kind of defense systems we need, S-300 and other similar systems. You know, how much depends on the battlefield, on the ability to use aircrafts, powerful, strong aviation to protect our people, our freedom, our land. Aircraft that can help Ukraine, help Europe. And you know that they exist, and you have them, but they are on earth, not in the Ukrainian sky. They do not defend our people.
I have a dream, these words are known to each of you today. I can say, I have a need. I need to protect our sky. I need your decision, your help, which means exactly the same, the same you feel when you hear the words, “I have a dream.”
Ladies and gentlemen, friends, Ukraine is grateful to the United States for its overwhelming support for everything that your government and your people have done for us, for weapons and ammunition, for training, for finances, for leadership in the free world, which helps us to pressure the aggressor economically.
I’m grateful to President Biden for his personal involvement, for his sincere commitment to the defense of Ukraine and democracy all over the world. I am grateful to you for the resolution which recognizes all those who commit crimes against Ukraine, against the Ukrainian people as war criminals. However, now, it is true in the darkest time for our country, for the whole Europe, I call on you to do more. New packages of sanctions are needed, constantly, every week until the Russian military machine stops.
Restrictions are needed for everyone on whom this unjust regime is based. We propose that the United States sanction all politicians in the Russian Federation, who remain in their offices and do not cut ties with those who are responsible for the aggression against Ukraine. From State Duma members to the last official who has lack of morale to break the state terror. All Americans company must leave Russia from their market, leave their market immediately because it is flooded with our blood.
Ladies and gentlemen, members of Congress, please take the lead. If you have companies in your districts who finance the Russian military machine leaving business in Russia, you should put pressure. I am asking to make sure that the Russians do not receive a single penny that they use to destroy people in Ukraine. The destruction of our country, the destruction of Europe. All American ports should be closed for Russian goods. Peace is more important than income and we have to defend this principle in the whole world.
We already became part of the anti-war coalition, a big anti-war coalition that unites many countries, dozens of countries, those who reacted in principle to President Putin’s decision to invade our country, but we need to move on and do more. We need to create new tools to respond quickly and stop the war, the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24th. And it would be fair if it ended in a day, that in 24 hours, that evil would be punished immediately. Today the world does not have such tools. The war of the past have prompted our predecessors to create institutions that should protect us from war, but they unfortunately don’t work. We see it, you see it, so we need new ones, new institutions, new alliances and we offer them.
We propose to create an association U-24 united for peace, a union of responsible countries that have the strength and consciousness to stop conflicts immediately, provide all the necessary assistance in 24 hours, if necessary, even weapons if necessary, sanctions, humanitarian support, political support, finances, everything you need to keep the peace and quickly save the world, save lives.
In addition, such associations such a union could provide assistance to those who are experiencing natural disasters, man-made disasters who fell victim to humanitarian crisis or epidemics. Remember how difficult it was for the world to do the simplest thing just to give vaccines, vaccines against COVID to save lives to prevent new strains. The world spent months, years, doing things like that much faster to make sure there are no human losses, no victims.
Ladies and gentlemen, Americans, if such alliance would exist today, that is U-24, we would be able to save thousands of lives in our country. In many countries of the world, those who need peace, those who suffer inhumane destruction.
I ask you to watch one video, video of what the Russian troops did in our country, in our land. We have to stop it. We must prevent it, preventably destroy every single aggressor who seeks to subjugate other nations.Please watch the video.
[IN ENGLISH] And in the end, to sum it up today, today, it’s not enough to be the leader of the nation they take to be the leader of the world. Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace. Peace in your country doesn’t depend any more only on you and your people. It depends on those next to you and those who are strong. Strong doesn’t mean big. Strong is brave and ready to fight for the life of his citizens and citizens of the world. Of human rights for freedom, for the right to live decently and to die when your time comes and not when it is wanted by someone else, by your neighbor.
[IN ENGLISH] Today, the Ukrainian people are defending not only Ukraine, we are fighting for the values of Europe and the world, sacrificing our own lives in the name of the future. That’s why today, the American people are helping not just Ukraine, but Europe and the world to keep the planet alive, to keep justice in history. Now I’m almost 45 years old. Today, my age stopped when the hearts of more than one hundred children stopped beating.
I see no sense in life if it cannot stop the deaths. And this is my main mission as the leader of my people, great Ukrainians. And as the leader of my nation, I’m addressing the President Biden. You are the leader of the nation, of your great nation. I wish you to be the leader of the world. Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.
Thank you.
[IN UKRAINIAN] Glory to Ukraine.
