Durbin, Wicker, Senators Meet With Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha

WASHINGTON -U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), Co-Chairs of the Senate Ukraine Caucus, hosted Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha to discuss continued Congressional support for Ukraine and the need to strengthen the NATO alliance. In addition to Durbin and Wicker, U.S. Senators James Risch (R-ID), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) also attended.

"More than two and a half years after Putin began his brutal, criminal invasion, Ukraine remains on the frontlines of democracy," said Durbin. "As the United States Congress prepares for a new Administration, I reiterated to Foreign Minister Sybiha that we stand with our Ukrainian allies. We must continue bipartisan support for the NATO alliance and to reject Russian tyranny."
