Zelensky will address the Swiss parliament for the first time

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy will address the parliament of neutral Switzerland for the first time.
The Embassy of Ukraine sent a request to this effect, which was approved by both houses of parliament.
The president's address is likely to take place during the summer session, which starts on May 30. The date will be finalized after consultations with the Ukrainian authorities.
As you know, since 1970, only 28 invited speakers have addressed the Swiss Federal Assembly. Among them were presidents and representatives of international organizations, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the President of the Senate. However, this will be the first virtual address by a foreign leader in the country's history.
