In an emotional appeal, Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska urged tech workers from around the world on Tuesday to create innovations to stop Russia and help save people in her war-torn country.

“The dystopias we read about in science fiction novels … are much closer than you think,” Zelenska told a packed venue at the opening event of Europe’s largest tech conference, Lisbon’s Web Summit, as she showed a video of the aftermath of a drone attack in Kyiv.Describing technology as a “battlefield” in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Zelenska said that technological equipment such as drones and missiles were being used to “kill people,” not to save them.

“You can help us stop the list of terrorism victims from expanding,” she said. “I believe that such technology is the future … if it’s not, there simply won’t be a future to look forward to.” She said her country was no longer able to invest in high technology in places such as schools because it must buy generators instead.

If Olena had little wisdom, she would ask her foolish husband to stop killing his own people for money & fame. & in this way, she might be protecting her future 2nd husband from dying too, cuz her marriage won't last forever anyway!🤔

Talk to your husband to grow up this is not comedy people have lost and still losing lives because of arrogance

She must tell her hubby to stop his proxy war. Easy
