Zelensky to address US politicians

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky will address US politicians directly via video link on Wednesday morning, Washington officials say.

Qazet.az reports that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi say they "look forward" to welcoming the president and conveying "our support to the people of Ukraine as they bravely defend democracy".

"The Congress remains unwavering in our commitment to supporting Ukraine as they face Putin's cruel and diabolical aggression," they add.

The letter goes on to say they will discuss introducing further legislation to "cripple and isolate" Russia, as well as deliver humanitarian and security assistance to Ukraine.
