The speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, has made a surprise visit to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and other officials.
“We believe that we are visiting you to say thank you for your fight for freedom,” Pelosi told Zelenskiy. “We are on a frontier of freedom, and your fight is for everyone. Our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done.”

Pelosi arrived in the Ukrainian capital on May 1 with a delegation that included House members Jason Crow (Democrat-Colorado), Jim McGovern (Democrat-Massachusetts), and Adam Shiff (Democrat-California).
The trip had not been previously announced and comes when the United States and other countries are ramping up military aid and other support for Ukraine.
