'Zelensky awarded Pelosi with "the Order of Princess Olga" for her "significant personal contribution" to strengthening Ukrainian and American ties. Olga was the first woman to rule Kievan Rus, the first East Slavic state. The order bearing her name is awarded to women who have achieved significant success in politics and society -- the personification in Ukraine of female strength.'

I appreciate the Republicans who are on board with helping Ukraine, but I do not appreciate that they will not actively reign in the pro-Putin wing of their party, and they did not proactively stand up their pro-Putin president.

“We are on a frontier of freedom, and your fight is a fight for everyone,” Pelosi told Zelensky in a meeting her office said took place on Saturday evening local time. A video of the remarks was shared by Zelensky’s office.

Zelensky awards Pelosi the Order of Princess Olga, a Ukrainian civil honor

At a news conference Sunday in Poland, Pelosi said the West could not just back down in the face of Russian threats. “Let me just speak for myself,” Pelosi said. “Do not be bullied by bullies. If they’re making threats, you cannot back down. We’re there for the fight, and you cannot fold to a bully.”

Olga was a bad ass, and undoubtedly the most famous and admired woman in Ukrainian history. I don't imagine they give these awards away on a whim, and certainly not to foreigners.

The good news is that she can't take it home with her. It belongs to We, the People. LOL

The Order of Princess Olga (Ukrainian: Орден княгині Ольги) is a Ukrainian civil decoration, featuring Olga of Kiev and bestowed to women for "personal merits in state, production, scientific, educational, cultural, charity and other spheres of social activities, for upbringing children in families". It was established by Presidential Decree № 827/97 of 15 August 1997 and has three grades (classes), the first being the highest. The 1st grade medal is adorned with four rectangular amethysts and features a gilded ornament with silver parts. The two other grades also feature precious stones.

Both Ukrainian citizens and foreigners are eligible for the order.

Funny. Our media tells us that Russia is indiscriminately targeting civilians yet Kiev is safe enough for our most senior elected leaders to travel there?
 
When Trump met with Putin the left was all excited over Trump’s “secret” meeting, implying that the two had colluded to change the outcome of the 2016 election.

pelosi has a secret meeting with the head of the country that biden had dealings with, and to which biden sent billions of our dollars, and the media think it’s just great.
