Volodymyr Zelensky to address Congress as Russian invasion intensifies on Kyiv outskirts
The USA Today reported, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will deliver a virtual address to Congress on Wednesday, where he is expected to urge for greater assistance as Russia's invasion of Ukraine entered its third week.
Zelenskyy, who suggested there was still some reason to be optimistic negotiations might yet yield an agreement with the Russian government, said Russia’s demands were becoming “more realistic.” The sides were expected to speak again later Wednesday.
He said in his video address to the nation: “Efforts are still needed, patience is needed,” adding that “Any war ends with an agreement.”
According to a statement and images released by the Kyiv emergencies agency, Wednesday's virtual address comes after shrapnel from an artillery shell slammed into a 12-story apartment building in central Kyiv Wednesday morning, obliterating the top floor and igniting a fire.
The neighboring building was also damaged. The agency reported two victims, without elaborating.
