Veteran interpreter breaks down in tears after Zelensky remarks

A veteran interpreter broke down in tears on Sunday while translating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech for a German news outlet.

In an emotional video shared on social media, the translator, who has not yet been identified, could be heard starting to choke up while interpreting Zelensky’s speech for the German news service Welt.

She translated part of his speech and could be heard saying, “Russia is on the path of evil. Russia must lose its voice in the U.N.”

She then started to struggle as she continued the translation.

“Ukraine, we definitely know,” she said before pausing briefly and adding, “what we are defending.” As she spoke, her voice began to break and she tried to calm down. Then, after a breath, she quietly said, “Sorry” and went off the air.
