The worst part of the Oval Office meeting was how calculated it all was. They knew English was not Zelensky’s first language, and they exploited it.

This is MY Country, Too!
Taking ownership of my country can lead to meaningful change—not just for me, but for those who lack a voice and for the nation as a whole. This philosophy echoes the work of our ancestors.
