President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi received the annual honor of the American Academy of Achievement – The Golden Plate Award. The award ceremony took place in New York.
The award was presented to the Head of State by the leader of the Republican Party in the US Senate, Mitch McConnell.
For 60 years, statesmen, scientists, artists, writers, entrepreneurs and public leaders have been honored with this award for their contribution to the development of humanity.
“I thank you for this honor. And I want you to know that in everything we have achieved so far, and most importantly, in everything we can still achieve – our people and our Ukrainian bravery – you have become a part of it. Your help, your choice, your determination will not allow us to lose our freedom,” said the President.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi also emphasized that the next few months will be decisive in this war. Ukraine has a Victory Plan, and the Head of State will present this Plan to the United States, primarily to Joseph Biden, Congress and both presidential candidates – Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
“And I believe that this should be our joint achievement, the victory of freedom without any compromises at the cost of freedom,” he added.
The Golden Plate Award was also presented to US presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Nobel and Pulitzer Prize laureates.
