First of all, I would like to thank you for a very courageous act, because we understand what it takes for the Olena Zelenska first lady to come here during a war when the military actions are taking place every day, where the air sirens are happening every day, even today. We all feel your support and we all feel the leadership of the Olena Zelenska President but we would like to note that the Mother's Day is a very symbolic day for us because we also feel your love and support during such an important day.

I’ve covered a lot of war zones and this one feels to me, and it could be in part because we’re in the middle of this war right now, this one feels different in the way that there is still room for this humanity to shine through, but it is so widespread and so serious for the entire population of Ukraine that it’s limited in how much people are lighthearted because they are literally experiencing a nightmare. It’s unfolding all around them. It’s the sirens. When there are air raids, it’s the explosions in the distance. It’s watching their children or trying to shield their children from seeing bodies in the streets. It’s these really heavy, heavy things.

It took us two days to get out of Ukraine because of huge traffic jams, everyone was rushing to the border as well. I was driving with military cars on one side and tanks on the other side with Russian helicopters flying above my head. I was very scared for my life and my son’s. There wasn’t enough food, enough water. You especially couldn’t sleep with the sirens going on all the time. Every noise from a car or plane made me look around. I was worried that it was a rocket, a bomb or someone shooting. I can’t even begin to imagine what the people who stayed are going through. I knew I had to survive.

Gotham has fallen silent. The night is no longer broken by the sounds of crime. Children are no longer waken by the sudden crack of a gunshot. There are no more cries in the darkness. No tires screech as wailing sirens chase desperate men and women through narrow streets. In a way it is a Gotham I've always dreamed of. But this is no dream. This is a perversion. This is a nightmare. It is the silence of fear. A silence only broken by the sound of marching feet. A sound that echoes around the world. Marching feet. The rhyme of dictators. Our world is ruled by iron fist of the man of steel.

Now the Sirens have a still more fatal weapon than their song, namely their silence. And though admittedly such a thing never happened, it is still conceivable that someone might possibly have escaped from their singing; but from their silence certainly never.
