Pelosi said the meeting was to send the message that the United States stands firmly with Ukraine as it battles "Putin's diabolic invasion."
She was accompanied by several lawmakers on a congressional trip that followed a visit last weekend to Ukraine by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
Pelosi said that Zelensky had made clear Ukraine needed more security, economic and humanitarian aid "to address the devastating human toll taken on the Ukrainian people by (President Vladimir) Putin's diabolic invasion".
"Our delegation proudly delivered the message that additional American support is on the way," Pelosi said.
On Friday, she said she hoped to pass a $33 billion aid package for Ukraine requested by President Joe Biden as soon as possible - a dramatic escalation of U.S. funding for Ukraine more than two months after Russia launched what it calls a "special military operation."
"The United States is the leader in strong support for Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression," Zelensky said on Twitter, sharing a video of the meeting. "Thank you for helping to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state," he added.
Pelosi's delegation travelled onward from Ukraine to Poland for meetings with President Andrzej Duda and other senior officials, according to its statement.
