Ukraine’s Zelenskyy reportedly headed to Washington for meetings, congressional address

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is traveling to Washington perhaps as soon as Wednesday for talks with Biden administration officials and an address to Congress on the state of the 10-month war with Russia, according to multiple news reports.

Mr. Zelenskyy has shot to global fame as the face of Ukraine’s unexpectedly dogged resistance to the Russian invasion, remaining in Kyiv even as Russian forces neared the capital early in the war and issuing nightly calls of defiance to the Kremlin. He spent part of Tuesday visiting the Ukrainian forces’ front lines confronting Russian troops occupying a slice of eastern and southern Ukraine.
