On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met US President Joe Biden at the White House, in his first visit out of Ukraine since the war began in February.
His arrival was greeted with multiple ovations in the nearly full chamber.
Three members held up a large Ukrainian flag as he walked in.
In his speech, Zelensky told the US Congress that the tens of billions of dollars of aid it had approved to help it fight a Russian invasion was not charity, but an investment in global security.
Russia launched a large drone attack on Kyiv overnight, with Volodymyr Zelenskyy warning the attack shows his capital needs better air defences. Sky News
