Roberta Metsola In Touching Reunion With Ukrainian Parliament Interpreter Shevchenko
European Parliamentary President Roberta Metsola has met with Victor Shevchenko, the interpreter who many remember had choked up whilst interpreting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s heartfelt speech, in parliament.
In the wake of Russia’s military action against Ukraine during the past few days, the world now watches at the edge of its seats to see unfurling atrocities before its very eyes.
