Pelosi And Democratic Lawmakers Visit Ukraine
According to The Washington Post, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) made an unannounced visit to Kyiv with Democratic lawmakers, meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the first official congressional delegation to Ukraine since the Russian invasion.
In a video posted by Zelensky, Pelosi could be seen walking the streets of Ukraine’s capital with House lawmakers, including Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (Calif.), Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Gregory W. Meeks (N.Y.) and Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern (Mass.). Democratic Reps. Barbara Lee (Calif.), William R. Keating (Mass.) and Jason Crow (Colo.) were also in the delegation, which has now left Ukraine for Poland, according to a statement from Pelosi’s office. The group met Zelensky on Saturday evening local time, a Pelosi spokesman told The Washington Post.
The trip had not been announced before Zelensky shared visuals on Sunday, with a caption praising the United States for being a leader in support of Ukraine. “Thank you for helping to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state!” he wrote on Twitter. In the video, Pelosi pledged support for Ukraine, telling Zelensky that “our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done.”
