Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the U.S. and world are “in awe of the heroism of the Ukrainian people” in a letter inviting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to address a Joint Meeting of Congress on Wednesday.
“America and the world are in awe of the heroism of the Ukrainian people,” Pelosi wrote in the letter. “In the face of Putin’s horrific atrocities, Ukrainian freedom fighters have inspired the world with an iron will and an unbreakable spirit — fighting back against Russia’s brutal, unjustified invasion.”
Pelosi’s letter, dated Tuesday, formally invited Zelensky to address Congress in-person as Ukraine’s conflict with Russia continues. The Speaker released the letter to the public early Wednesday morning, confirming Zelensky’s visit after several reports that said the Ukrainian president was expected to be in the Capitol Wednesday.
Zelensky will also meet with President Biden at the White House on Wednesday. The two are scheduled to hold a joint press conference following their meeting.

“if the EU/US just adhered to making Ukraine a buffer area between Russia and NATO”
Ukraine wasnt going to be in NATO in the long long foreseeable future. As long as the seperatist areas and Crimea under Russia control there was no way in hell Ukraine was going NATO. So defacto Ukraine already WAS a buffer area between Russia and NATO.
LOL, because when you're talking about 'threat to democracy' in Ukraine, some small segment of right wing nuts in Ukraine pails to Putin's wholesale invasion, destruction and annexation of Ukraine.
The whole NATO canard amount to “he made me punch him in the nose!”
How juvenile.
(Here come the ad hominems now!)
If pelousi is for it ….. well
>LOL, because when you’re talking about ‘threat to democracy’ in Ukraine, some small segment of right wing nuts in Ukraine pails to Putin’s wholesale invasion, destruction and annexation of Ukraine.
Well, Obama paid the right wing nuts and gave them weapons to depose Yanukovych, which is why they started shelling the Dombass, which is why we’re in this mess.
I don’t like the Russian or the Ukrainian side. They’re not going to have any Ukrainian men left to clean up afterwards if they keep going.
Pelosi in total lock step with half of FR. The world is upside down.
You do know we lost in Afghanistan too, right? The “rag heads” are 2 - 0 against the “superpowers”.
For one, that’s the Mercator projection. For starters, it makes Greenland look enormous, and is utterly disingenuous when comparing the actual landmasses.
More importantly, you seriously cannot believe by this point that this conflict has been a solo affair between Ukraine and Russia?
Flagged! Too much logic. No longer allowed at FR, the home of the dupes.
Zelensky will also meet with President Biden at the White House on Wednesday.
Must be a bank account number trade can’t trust a currier.
Zelensky is Biden’s Maytag man..
A relief to the regime to have such a reliable money laundering repair man..
Faulty analogy. Has Russia invaded Poland and France?
We CAN say that NATO has invaded Ukraine though
Cassus belli
The USA is in awe that Pelosi got to keep Paul’s addiction to gay sex hidden for so long.
Mars attacks!
Zelenskyyyy is actually here to buy his home in the Hamptons.
Just like we and the world are in awe of Hunter Biden’s artwork and her husband’s courage in fighting off his attacker.
Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for December 21, 2022:
- Pentagon admits Russia is gaining ground in Bakhmut; - Zelensky visit to Bakhmut mirrors similar visit to Lysychansk before it fell to Russian forces;
- Western media admits Russia has Ukraine outgunned 6 to 1 in Bakhmut;
- Claims that Russian losses are as significant as catastrophic toll Ukraine is suffering in Bakhmut does not reflect reality if Russia outguns Ukraine significantly;
- Bakhmut is a significant transportation hub and a crucial fortified position along one of Ukraine's last major defensive lines in the east;
- The fall of Bakhmut may lead to a similar breakthrough like Popasna;
- Russian forces appear interested in destroying Ukraine's military at Bakhmut more than taking the city itself;
Yep Hunter has to many spot lights on him now.
