Dear Colleague to All House & Senate Members on Virtual Address by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Dear Colleague,

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.

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 Virtual Address will be received in the Capitol Visitor Center Congressional Auditorium. Only Members are invited to attend. Doors will open at 8:00 a.m., and Members are to arrive no later 8:50 a.m. Seating will be first come, first serve. In accordance with guidelines developed by the Office of the Attending Physician: fully vaccinated attendees are not required to wear a mask, and attendees who are not fully vaccinated must wear a mask at all times.

Please RSVP to the Speaker's Office no later than 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 15th.

The 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. We look forward to the privilege of welcoming President Zelenskyy's address to the House and Senate and to convey our support to the people of Ukraine as they bravely defend democracy.

We hope that you can join us for this special presentation.

NANCY PELOSI

Speaker of the House
