A bipartisan group of senators is traveling to Poland Saturday in a show of support for the help the NATO ally has provided during the war in Ukraine.
Russian forces have continued to pummel Ukraine with heavy missile fire and troop movements for 17 days, forcing millions to flee into neighboring Poland in the biggest ground war since World War II.
"We will make clear our commitment to stand with the Ukrainian and Polish people against Vladimir Putin," she added. "I am proud to join my colleagues on this important trip to Poland," said Portman. "The Polish people continue their unwavering support for NATO after 23 years of fighting alongside the U.S. and our allies. This bipartisan delegation will send a clear message that the U.S. is thankful for their support of Ukraine and their offer of providing fighter jets, as the people of Ukraine continue to endure brutal Russian atrocities.
The U.S. and its NATO allies have repeatedly said they will not counter Putin militarily in Ukraine but have instead supplied defensive aid and targeted Russia’s economy through crippling sanctions.
