'I pray for you': D-Day veteran shares heartfelt moment with Zelensky

by Lydia Davies

At the commemoration of the 80th D-Day anniversary in Normandy, France, an emotional exchange unfolded between President Volodymyr Zelensky and a D-Day veteran.

The veteran, upon meeting Zelensky, expressed his admiration, saying: “You are the savior of the people.”

Zelensky responded, “No, no – you saved Europe.”

Zelensky, who embraced the veteran and held his hand, kneeled to be at the same level as the veteran, before the WWII hero said: "I pray for you." 

The heartfelt interaction between them led to a standing ovation from the audience as both insisted to each other: “You're our hero." 

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
