Zelensky thanks The Atlantic Council for presenting award to Ukrainian people

KYIV. May 12 (Interfax-Ukraine) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has thanked The Atlantic Council for presenting the Distinguished Leadership Award to the Ukrainian people.

"On behalf of all Ukrainians, I would like to thank you for this award. It is right and fair to honor all the people of Ukraine with this award, because courage is our national trait of character. Today, the whole world witnesses it and admires the heroism of the Ukrainians," Zelensky said in a video address published on Telegram on Thursday morning.

"At the same time, I do not want it to become something ordinary for everyone. And for this, we must say and remember that thousands of real stories, names and feats stand behind the courage and wisdom of our people," he said.
