Translator Audibly Chokes Up While Interpreting Zelenskyy's Powerful Speech

The interpreter struggled to hold back tears as Ukraine's president vowed his country would not be broken by the Russian invasion.

Ukrainian  President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ’s powerful speech to the parliament of the European Union stirred emotions in an official translator, who became audibly emotional and almost broke down in tears.

In footage broadcast by Euronews on Tuesday, the unnamed interpreter choked up as Zelenskyy vowed the people of Ukraine would not be broken by the Russian invasion.

“Nobody is going to break us. We are strong. We are Ukrainians. We have a desire to see our children alive. I think it’s a fair one,” said Zelenskyy , who on Monday applied for EU membership for Ukraine.
