[ SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE ]
>>> UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT
ZELENSKYY TELLING HIS PEOPLE TO
DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN IN THE
WAR EFFORT TO PROTECT THEIR
COUNTRY, BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE
PRESIDENT LEADING THE WAR
EFFORT.
IT'S ALSO HIS WIFE.
IN HER LATEST PIECE FOR
"WASHINGTON MONTHLY" ENTITLED
UKRAINIAN FIRST LADY FIGHTS ON,
MARGARET CARLSON DETAILS HOW
ZELENSKYY INSPIRED FELLOW
UKRAINIANS TO KEEP HOLDING ON
GIVING DAILY ADVICE HOW TO
SURVIVE IN WARTIME ON
ZELENSKYY'S CHANNEL ON TELEGRAM.
SHE WRITES, OLENA HAS NO
WEAPONS, JUST A CAMERA, A VOICE
AND THE TRUTH THAT COMES FROM
REMAINING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
WAR WITH THE MILLIONS OF
UKRAINIANS SHE CONNECTS WITH
EVERY DAY.
WHEN HER HUSBAND SAID I NEED
AMMUNITION, NOT A RIDE.
OLENA AGREED AND HUNKERED DOWN.
FOR SECURITY REASONS THE
GOVERNMENT WON'T SAY WHERE SHE
AND HER CHILDREN ARE.
ONLY THAT THEY REMAIN IN
UKRAINE.
UKRAINIANS HAVE HELD OFF THE
RUSSIANS FOR ALMOST THREE WEEKS,
WITH A FIRST LADY WHOSE EFFORTS
HAVE MADE HER TARGET NUMBER TWO
FOR ASSASSINATION.
UNDER SIEGE LIKE HER COUNTRY,
OLENA FINDS HERSELF REVERED AT
HOME AND ABROAD FOR HER RALLYING
OF UKRAINE WITH CHILLING
DETERMINATION.
BOTH OLENA AND VOLODYMYR HAVE
DONE SOMETHING NEVER DONE.
MOBILIZE ADD NATION NOT WHILE
THE BARBARIAN WAS AT THE GATES,
BUT AFTER THEY HAD ALREADY
ENTERED THE HOUSE.
WE DON'T KNOW IF THREE MONTHS
FROM NOW THE COUPLE WILL BE IN
PRISON IN MOSCOW, UNDER A PILE
OF RUBBLE OR STILL LEADING THEIR
NATION, OLENA IS CONVINCED AND
CONVINCING THAT IT WILL BE THE
LAST ONE.
>> WILLIE, REMARKABLE, WHAT HAS
HAPPENED TO THIS FAMILY OVER THE
PAST MONTH.
YOU LOOK AT THIS GUY WHO, AGAIN,
WAS A COMEDIAN, A DANCER.
>> AN ACTOR.
>> HE WAS AN ACTOR.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE HIS SERIES,
CAN YOU CAN SEE IT ON NETFLIX
NOW.
MIKA AND I WATCHED SOME OF IT,
AND IT WAS SURREAL SEEING THIS
GUY WHO, YOU KNOW, AN ACTOR, A
COMEDIAN, WHO FOUND HIS VOICE IN
THE MIDDLE OF THIS WAR THAT,
AGAIN, IS THE CLOSEST THING THAT
WE HAVE TO A CHURCHILLIAN VOICE
SINCE CHURCHILL HIMSELF IN THE
SPRING AND SUMMER OF 1940.
>> YEAH.
EXTRAORDINARY TO WATCH.
OBVIOUSLY, I THINK MOST
AMERICANS CAME TO KNOW THE NAME
ZELENSKYY BECAUSE OF PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S FIRST IMPEACHMENT WITH
THAT INFAMOUS PHONE CALL AND NOW
IN THIS TIME OF CRISIS FOR HIS
COUNTRY AND THIS TIME HE'S BEING
ATTACKED, CIVILIANS FLEEING OVER
THE BORDER INTO POLAND.
KILLED INSIDE HOSPITALS AND
THEATERS, HE HAS RISEN TO THE
OCCASION.
HE IS, AS MIKA JUST SAID, THE
NUMBER ONE TARGET FOR
ASSASSINATION, YET OUT WALKS
STREETS IN FATIGUES, OUT
VISITING HOSPITALS AS WE SEE
HERE PROVIDING A MODEL OF
LEADERSHIP AND MAKING THESE
PLEAS AS HE DID TO PARLIAMENT A
COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND CONGRESS
LAST WEEK FOR THE WEST TO DO
EVEN MORE THAN IT'S DOING NOW.
SHOWING GRATITUDE.
TAILORING SPEECHES TO AUDIENCES
IN THE ROOM, TALKING ABOUT
CHURCHILL AND 9/11 WITH THE
AMERICAN CONGRESS AND ASKING FOR
A NO-FLY ZONE, FOR EXAMPLE.
SOMETHING THE UNITED STATES HAS
