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.
