Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is planning to visit Washington on Wednesday and may meet US President Joe Biden, reports say.
It would be his first foreign trip since the Russian invasion in February.
Mr Zelensky could also address Congress, unnamed officials told US media. There is no official confirmation of the visit or the plans.
A visit would be fraught with security concerns - meaning plans could likely change at short notice.
In a letter on Tuesday, Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged members of Congress to be in attendance on Wednesday night.
"Please be present for a very special focus on democracy," she wrote, without giving further details.
Mr Zelensky regularly hosts foreign leaders in the capital, Kyiv, and has visited troops around Ukraine. He made an unannounced visit to the front-line city of Bakhmut on Tuesday.
The Ukrainian president has also spoken frequently to world leaders over the telephone and by video call - often from his office in Kyiv.
But an unannounced visit to a foreign country would mark a first since the war began, and also signal the importance of Ukraine's relationship with the US which has played a leading role in providing military support.

I just flicked thorough some old articles and calculate the “aid” to Ukraine to now be over $110 billion since Feb.
Probably much more in dark/off-budget money too.
This is insane.
It has more than replaced Afghanistan for the time being.
Check HELL!!!
They’ll give him a boatload of cash!
Without ftx in the picture, how will the democrats see that money all coming back to them?
Oh! That’s right! There are plenty more ftx out there!
With a warm welcome from our own congress, this will mark the first day of WWIII ladies and gentlemen.
Pallets of cash, this is the way.
I think some of your Reps have lost their minds allowing the treasury and taxpayer to be looted like this.
It’s unprecedented...
I think they’re rushing a lot of it through now because the new Congress won’t be so generous.
McConnell actually said before that supporting Ukraine is the #1 priority for Republicans!

Omnibus cuts millions of AMERICANS from Medicaid, while giving all that money to foriegn countries!!
Why not put the correct title in the article and then add your commentary after that.
Agreed. I do not like foreign aid generally. Spend it at home not abroad
Meaning our 'intelligence' thugs will have full access to him to fine tune the crap - oops, 'message'.
These people think they are in charge and that they will never have to stand before Jesus on Judgment Day. They are sorely mistaken.
