U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday revealed she visited Ukraine’s president to show unflinching American support for the country’s defense against Russian aggression.
Pelosi, a California Democrat who is second in line to succeed the president, is the most senior American lawmaker to travel to Ukraine since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.

So far, Russian troops and the separatists appeared to have made only minor gains in the month since Moscow said it would focus its military strength in the east.
