Ukrainian President Zelensky to deliver virtual address to U.S. Congress on Wednesday

Washington — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will deliver a virtual address to members of Congress on Wednesday as he continues to urge the West to send fighter jets and more weapons to help his forces defend against Russian aggression.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced his upcoming address in a letter to members of the House and Senate on Monday. Pelosi and Schumer said Congress "remains unwavering in our commitment to supporting Ukraine as they face Putin's cruel and diabolical aggression, and to passing legislation to cripple and isolate the Russian economy as well as deliver humanitarian, security and economic assistance to Ukraine."

"The Congress, our country and the world are in awe of the people of Ukraine, who have shown extraordinary courage, resilience and determination in the face of Russia's unprovoked, vicious, and illegal war," the Democratic leaders wrote. "As war rages on in Ukraine, it is with great respect and admiration for the Ukrainian people that we invite all Members of the House and Senate to attend a Virtual Address to the United States Congress delivered by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine on Wednesday, March 16th at 9:00 a.m."

The Ukrainian leader has pleaded for the U.S. and its NATO allies to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine as the Russian invasion enters its third week. But Western leaders have resisted his calls, fearing a broader conflict in Europe. Russia launched a missile strike against a Ukrainian military base in the west of the country on Sunday near the border with Poland, a NATO member.

Zelensky previously addressed members of Congress in a Zoom call earlier in March, in which he pleaded with lawmakers to provide Ukraine with more fighter jets and military support.

Well, we had a diaper-wearing breast-cupping election-stealer Sinator from Minnesota, why not a penis-piano-player clown president from Ukraine.

This is the comedian in him. A WW doesn't bother him as long as he survives...and that's not exactly how it works.

He lacks wisdom...and he's hoping that something lands in a NATO country...and I'm afraid he might make sure of it.

I thought Russia was losing badly. Whatever the situation is it not our fight. Ukraine is not in NATO.

RE: He lacks wisdom...

So, what in your mind is Wisdom? What would you do if you were in Zelensky’s position?

Zelenskyy is an actor playing the role of his life.
It is his one shot at immortality.

Didn’t they say the same thing about Ronald Reagan?

So many people I used to respect have bought into this clown's act, and are hysterically supporting "Ukraine" the "democracy" and accept any and all propaganda and lies put out by this corrupt regime.

Incidentally many of them bought into the Covid lies from day 1 as well.

This is his “Alamo Letter” asking for help. If he is still alive Wednesday! If he is beating Putin’s ill trained army—why doesn’t he just push them out of his land and march on Moscow? No, people are believing propaganda. Russia has lost a lot of men and tanks—but like a slow steam roller they are winning—using tried and true tactics Russians have long used—what I call “The Bloody Hammer” Keep hitting and killing people until A) no more live people or B) they say Uncle and give up. Romans used this. It didn’t have to be this way. Mr. Z thought he could get support from USA or EU—he thought wrong.

The battle in the Donblast area was going on for 5 years before he took office. That should have been his priority from Day 1.

Priority as in what? Withdraw troops from the area? Give the area up?

There is one top priority that they are NOT doing. Open the domestic energy markets, reduce restrictions, get the pipeline built, close our Southern border.

Well, His army has been cruel too. I hope to God he doesn’t ask anything more of us.

Zelensky can go pound sand.

If Congress wants a war, they and their own families can go die fighting the Russians.
