US House Speaker Pelosi Meets Zelenskyy in Kyiv



Published
U.S. Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a visit to Ukraine's capital, Kyiv.

Pelosi told Zelenskyy that the visit was intended to thank Ukraine for its fight for freedom and that the U.S. commitment is to be there for Ukraine until the fight is done.

A Russian missile strike on the Odesa airport Saturday damaged the runway, rendering it useless, the Ukrainian military reported.

Elsewhere, Ukrainian police said they had found the bodies of three civilian men in the Bucha district, north of Kyiv. Police said the bodies were in a pit and the victims’ hands were bound, their eyes were covered and two were gagged.

Kyiv says more than 1,000 bodies have been discovered in or around Bucha, where it alleges systematic abuse by Russian soldiers occupying the area.

Ukraine said it had managed to evacuate 20 women and children from the Azovstal steel works in Mariupol.

Ukraine carried out a prisoner exchange with Russia on Saturday, with seven soldiers and seven civilians coming home, deputy prime minister Iryna Vereshchuk said in an online posting. One of the soldiers was a woman who is five months pregnant, she added. She did not say how many Russians had been transferred.
