Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sent a letter to both houses informing the members of the virtual visit, CNN reported.
The message read “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,” according to a Twitter post by Kyle Cheney of Politico.

Ukraine has been under attack by Russian forces since the Feb. 24 invasion.
Monday marked the fourth round of talks between Ukrainian and Russian leaders. The meeting is being held virtually, unlike the three earlier sessions that were held in person in Belarus, CNN reported.
The parties actively express their specified positions. Communication is being held yet it’s hard.
