After being invited by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered a virtual speech to the US Congress today. The delegates gave the President a standing ovation throughout his speech. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi shouted, “Slava Ukraina,” or “glory to Ukraine,” as legislators assembled in a joint session rose and applauded heartily for Zelenskyy, who appeared via a video connection from the beleaguered capital Kyiv, according to news agency AFP.
During the first virtual address by a country’s leader to the US Congress, Zelenskyy made an impassioned plea to the US for immediate financial assistance and additional armament to help his country battle the Russian invasion.
