President and Mrs. George W. Bush Meet with Ukrainian First Lady Mrs. Olena Zelenska

DALLAS – Today, President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush welcomed Ukrainian First Lady Mrs. Olena Zelenska to the Bush Institute.  

 “We admire your country’s bravery and ingenuity,” said President George W. Bush. “We want the people of Ukraine to know that we continue to stand with America’s ally, Ukraine. You are fighting for freedom, and I believe you will prevail.” 

In February, the Bush Institute published policy recommendations on how the West can help Ukraine win following the fourth anniversary of Vladimir Putin’s unjustified war. Putin is responsible for the gravest security crisis on the European continent since World War II. The Bush Institute believes that now is the time to stop him – and to do so, the U.S. must continue its support of Ukraine.
