United States Sen. Rob Portman, his co-chair on the Senate Ukraine Caucus, and nearly two dozen other legislators met with Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova this week to discuss the ongoing Russian military invasion into the European country.
During the meeting, the Ohio Republican suggested that the U.S. should be helping Ukraine with military assistance.
“I continue to be inspired by Ukrainian people, and the resolve they’ve shown to fight back against the illegal Russian invasion is admirable,” Sen. Portman said. “The United States must continue to do all it can to help Ukraine by sending immediate military aid and imposing the toughest of sanctions on the Russian and Belarusian governments and economies, while also aiding Ukrainians who are fleeing the violence.
President Joe Biden has imposed significant finical sanctions against Russia and its country’s leader, Vladimir Putin, but he has not deployed American troops to Ukraine.
