US House speaker Nancy Pelosi visits Kyiv, meets with Ukraine president

KYIV, 02 May 2022, (TON): US Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi has met with Ukraine’s president during a visit to the country’s embattled capital, Kyiv.

Pelosi, second in line to the presidency after the vice president, is the highest-ranking American leader to visit Ukraine since the start of the war, and her visit marks a major show of continuing support for the country’s struggle against Russia.

Footage released early Sunday by President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office showed Pelosi in Kyiv with a Congressional delegation including representatives Jason Crow, Jim McGovern and Adam Schiff.

Zelensky told the delegation “you all are welcome.”

Pelosi told Zelensky “we believe that we are visiting you to say thank you for your fight for freedom.”

Pelosi added “we are on a frontier of freedom and your fight is a fight for everyone. Our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done.”
