WASHINGTON, D.C. — After hearing direct pleas for assistance from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday, West Virginia’s congressional leaders expressed continued support for Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s vicious invasion.

Zelenskyy addressed members of Congress Wednesday morning by video live-stream from Ukraine, urging lawmakers for more support, arms, economic sanctions, and a no-fly zone over his country
