Since the start of the Russian invasion at the end of February, Zelenskyy has been addressing parliaments around the world to plead the cause of the Ukrainian people.
“I will definitely continue to address the parliaments of Ukraine’s European partner states,” he said, adding: “By the way, we are also working to expand the geography of such special speeches in the parliaments of Africa and Asia.”
