Bipartisan Senate Delegation to Kyiv Urges $21 Billion in New U.S. Aid to Ukraine
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three U.S. senators have pledged additional military support to Ukraine
during a visit to Kyiv. On Wednesday, Democratic Senators Richard
Blumenthal and Elizabeth Warren and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham
met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, voicing their support
for President Biden's request this month that Congress approve an
additional $13 billion in military aid and $8 billion in humanitarian
aid to Ukraine this year.

Sen. Lindsey Graham: "To the media reports saying this is a stalemate,
you're wrong. They breached a major line of defense yesterday."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: "We're here to say, in a bipartisan way, we want
to help them. We want to make sure they have the resources they need to
be able to fight back against Vladimir Putin."
