The Ukrainian President will address the Portuguese Parliament by video conference.

The President of Ukraine accepted Portugal’s invitation and will speak in the Parliament, by videoconference. The information was advanced this Thursday by the President of Parliament, Augusto Santos Silva, in statements to TSF and Diário de Notícias.

Volodymyr Zelensky accepted, thus, the invitation made by Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and Augusto Santos Silva and will speak to the Portuguese deputies via video call, as has happened in speeches he has made in other parliaments across Europe.

There is still no date for the Ukrainian President’s speech, but it may be set in the coming hours, said the newly elected president of Parliament, adding that he received this Thursday the Ukrainian ambassador in Portugal, who confirmed Zelensky’s availability.
