Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) all recently took a trip to Ukraine according to a page on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s website.

The senators finished the visit to Ukraine’s capital city, Kyiv, on Monday, according to the page. The Colorado, New Hampshire and North Carolina lawmakers also went to Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv that experienced mass atrocities that happened within the beginning weeks of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

“Our delegation saw firsthand how Ukraine is holding the Russian military at bay at the gates of Europe,” Shaheen, the Foreign Relations Committee’s ranking member, said on the page.

“Bolstering Ukraine’s leverage in this critical time means ending the U.S. self-imposed blockade of U.S. assistance, ensuring lasting security guarantees for Ukraine, taking advantage of Russia’s near economic collapse by imposing more sanctions and holding Vladimir Putin to account for the atrocities he has committed against humanity,” she added.

President Trump has been recently moving to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. Russian and U.S. officials are set for a discussion Tuesday in Saudi Arabia aimed at searching for a resolution to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also recently said that Ukraine has intelligence that Russian President Vladimir Putin is getting ready for possible military operations in Belarus and advised against NATO’s weakening.

“Our delegation’s visit to Ukraine was a stark reminder of the bravery of the Ukrainian people in their fight against Russia’s unprovoked invasion,” Tillis said on the committee page. “It’s clear that we must focus on securing a long-term peace agreement to end this war and ensure Ukraine’s sovereignty is respected.

“To do that, the U.S. must continue supporting Ukraine’s ability to defend itself and enable them to negotiate from a position of strength,” he added.
