AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is expected to speak in the Netherlands on Thursday, the Dutch government said.

In an invitation, the Dutch foreign ministry said Zelenskiy was expected to deliver a speech titled "No Peace Without Justice for Ukraine."

Zelenskiy was in Helsinki, Finland, on Wednesday.

A surprise visit to the Netherlands would be a first for Zelenskiy, who has made few journeys abroad since Russia's February 2022 invasion.
