Former U.S. President George W. Bush announced May 5 that he met virtually with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, praising the courage of the country’s people and pledging America’s continued support for the embattled European nation.
“I was honored to spend a few minutes talking with President Zelenskyy—the Winston Churchill of our time—this morning. I thanked the President for his leadership, his example, and his commitment to liberty, and I saluted the courage of the Ukrainian people,” Bush said in a statement released through the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
