Just arrived from Kiev, shocked by the death and destruction caused by the Russian invasion, and after having had to walk to cross the border with Hungary, the Ukrainian deputy

Yelyzaveta Oleksiivna Yasko

gave a heartbreaking speech to the PP national congress about the suffering that his people are undergoing.

"Imagine that everything you have today suddenly vanishes."

His words moved

Alberto Núñez Feijóo

and the other leaders of the PP, as well as the entire auditorium of the Palacio de Congresos in Seville.

Everyone stood up and responded with a long and warm applause to pay tribute to her and to Ukraine.

The Ukrainian deputy, on the verge of tears at various times, recounted a hell where "horror, death, sirens and broken happiness" have devastated the life projects of an entire country since that day when millions of people were startled by the sound of the bombs.

From her cell phone, she reproduced some of those everyday sounds that Ukrainians hear: the sirens that warn of Russian bombing or the shots that kill people.

"What would they feel, what would they do," Yasko asked, "if everything you have disappears and you can't go back to your house because it doesn't exist anymore."

"My flat is trashed, my personal life is in Putin's hands, my dear husband is in jail as a political prisoner and is under arrest in Georgia as Putin's personal prisoner, and my family and parents are in different places," she explained. .

But in addition to narrating the horror, he sent a message of hope because, he stressed, in Ukraine "we are not afraid" and President Zelensky "is not afraid."

"He is the leader of a free world for Ukraine and for the whole world," he proclaimed.

Yasko took advantage of the scene to ask Feijóo for help as the leader of the PP and Spain as a country to do "everything possible" to end the war by increasing sanctions on Russia and also cutting economic ties with the Putin regime.

Expressly, he demanded the support of Spain to support Ukraine's aspiration to become a member country of the European Union as well as to "build a security and peace system that works" and "never again" return "the horror of the war".

"This requires leadership, I ask you to wake up because we are fighting not only for Ukraine, but also for you, for Spain and Europe," he said.

"Let's end this war together," he said to end his speech, which ended with "glories" to Ukraine, freedom, Spain and Europe.

And that unleashed a strong and exciting applause from the PP congress.

Yasko will return to the Ukraine in two weeks, where death and destruction continue.
