It is thought he will use the platform to highlight his country's plight during the Russian invasion.

Mr Zelenskyy will become the 22nd person to address both Houses since the foundation of the State.

Others include US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, French President François Mitterrand and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
