WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy could travel to Washington and visit the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, though the trip has not yet been confirmed and security concerns could force a change in plans, a source familiar with the planning said Tuesday.

Punchbowl News first reported the possible trip, which would be Zelenskiy's first outside Ukraine since Russia launched its assault on the country on Feb. 24. His visit could also include a stop at the White House, CNN reported. Both media outlets cited sources familiar with the matter.
