Here is video of a moving speech by Maidan activist and pop star Ruslana Lyzhychko as she accepted the Atlantic Council's Distinguished Humanitarian Leadership award last night in Washington. "It's not for myself, but for all the people of Ukraine -- those who are still free," she said, offering an impassioned appeal to the United States and the international community to "stop Putin's aggression."
"A fixture of the Euromaidan during Ukrainian protests, Ruslana -- who originally gained fame as winner of the Eurovision song contest -- has been dedicated to advancing democracy and human rights in her country and beyond," the council said.
Ruslana concluded with a Ukrainian-English rendition of the Ukrainian national anthem.
