Zelensky also briefly addressed the journalists, noting that this was the second time he was in the US Capitol and the last time he was before the war and the Russian invasion of his country.

“What can I say?

Another, different feeling, like a different story, like a different life.

But all the same, the United States Congress is very important in this life, it is a great friend of Ukraine, the Ukrainian people, indeed freedom, the freedom of Ukrainians.

And thank you very much.

You have supported us financially... Thank you very much," he said.

point in sending any messages to the Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin

, after what he has done in Ukraine.
