Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to visit the U.S. Capitol in person on Wednesday, a Senate aide confirmed to The Hill.
It would mark the first time the Ukrainian president has left his country since before Russia launched its invasion on Feb. 24.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) sent a letter to lawmakers on Tuesday encouraging them to “be present for a very special focus on Democracy Wednesday night.”
Punchbowl News first reported on the possible historic visit, citing several sources familiar with the plans.
The visit comes as Zelensky, his top military officials and aides have warned that Russia is planning to renew a large-scale ground invasion, and as the country suffers under devastating aerial attacks that have destroyed its energy and electricity infrastructure entering winter.
Congress on Tuesday proposed to provide Ukraine with $45 billion in military, economic and other assistance related to Russia’s war on the country, as part of the omnibus spending package lawmakers hope to pass by the end of the week.
