10 minutes to #Ukraine’s President Zelensky’s address at @Stanford. His first visit to California.

Nice to see people wearing masks!
thx @FSIStanford

“Everything is possible”—President Zelensky @ZelenskyyUa @FSIStanford says, “This is Ukraine’s credo and mine. Here I am at Stanford, just a common guy from a common family from a common industrial town in Eastern Ukraine, Kryvyi Rih (Krivoy Rog)

First question from a woman from #Belarus, isn’t a question but a statement of gratitude. She thanks President Zelensky for supporting the opposition struggle for freedom. She says he & Ukraine have been an inspiration.

Lol. Grad student asks Zelensky: Which White House have you enjoyed working with the most.

#Ukraine @FSIStanford

In response to question, President Zelensky says he generally supports dual citizenship for Ukrainians, but says parliament has to develop targeted legislation so it doesn’t undermine Ukraine’s security.

Amb @McFaul ends the Q & A by thanking Ukraine’s President Zelensky for coming to Stanford, and invited him back “even in retirement” in an academic capacity. @ZelenskyyUa seemed intrigued by the invitation and the very warm welcome @FSIStanford
