Ukraine’s President is set to travel to the U.S. on Wednesday

In his first reported trip abroad since Russian troops entered his country, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky will travel to the U.S. this week.

It is understood Mr Zelensky will address a joint session of U.S. Congress and spend time on Capitol Hill rallying support for his war-torn nation.

Ukraine has received military support from NATO allies including the U.S.

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly urged members of Congress to attend the Wednesday night session.

“Please be present for a very special focus on democracy,” the letter reads.

Mr Zelensky has hosted a variety of leaders to Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv. However, he has not come face-to-face with President Joe Biden since the war began in February.

The U.S. has contributed over $18 billion worth of military aid and support for Ukraine. Other major donors include Germany, Britain and Poland.

However, Mr Zelensky has appealed for more funding as the monthly defence budget blows out to $5 billion.

Ukraine’s Presidential Office has not commented on any imminent trip to the U.S.

Russia maintains the war is a “special military operation” aimed to de-Nazify Ukraine.
