#BREAKING Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський addresses world leaders from Kharkiv, which suffered from Russian terror air raids these days. Will Zelensky's words wake up Scholz and others? How is it possible to be so blind and deaf? Western reluctancy is dangerous for all of us.

Looking forward to this panel on Saturday! Join us if you can. #ASN24 #nationalism #nationbranding
