House Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with President Volodymr Zelensky in Kyiv on Saturday, leading the first official US congressional delegation to Ukraine since the war began.

The politicians were in Poland on Sunday.

Her trip there was unannounced trip to the Ukrainian capital on Saturday, becoming the most senior United States official to meet with President Volodymr Zelensky since the war broke out more than two months ago.

Pelosi's office confirmed the trip in a statement on Sunday, saying that the Speaker had led an official congressional delegation to Ukraine -- the first since Russia's invasion.

Zelensky shared a video on Sunday of their meeting in Kyiv, and thanked the US for its powerful support of Ukraine against Russian aggression. "We are visiting you to say thank you for your fight for freedom, that we're on a frontier of freedom and that your fight is a fight for everyone," Pelosi said to Zelensky in the clip.

"And so our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done."
