Daryl Hannah Stands With Ukraine At Oscars After Trump-Zelensky Showdown: “Slava Ukraine!”


As she walked on stage at the Oscars, presenter Daryl Hannah went off script, starting her remarks with "Slava Ukraine!"

The salute, which also serves as battle cry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stands for the Ukrainian people striving for sovereignty and fighting foreign aggression. Hannah’s defiant shoutout comes two days after the stunning Oval Office showdown between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, which had the American president at points shouting at the Ukrainian leader on live television. With the U.S.’ future support for the Eastern European nation in serious doubt, Zelensky quickly left for Europe where British and other leaders have been reaffirming their backing for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
