Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) collapsed Tuesday night while attending Ukraine’s Independence Day celebration in Washington D.C. .

Wilson appeared responsive as he received medical treatment. Other attendees at the event said Wilson appeared to receive CPR after he fell.

His staff did not immediately return request for comments. 

Ukraine’s Ambassador to Washington, Oksana Markarova called it “nothing short of a miracle” that Wilson was treated on the spot. 

“It reminds me that we all have to learn how to do CPR, we in Ukraine, now, unfortunately know it because we have to do it on a daily basis, unfortunately, but even in other countries we have to be more resilient,” she said after the congressman was transported to the hospital from the event. 

“We’ll keep praying that our friend will be fine and wish speedy recovery to our friend,” she added.
