Two U.S. senators met with families in Ukraine's capital Thursday and promised continued humanitarian support for the war-torn country as winter nears.
Democrat Chris Coons of Delaware and Republican Rob Portman of Ohio emphasized their commitment to the people of Ukraine while visiting a distribution center in Kyiv and speaking to families bracing for a dark, cold season with inadequate heating and electricity.
Ukrainian authorities say Russian strikes on energy infrastructure have knocked out 40% of the country's energy system, cutting off power for tens of thousands of people. Although crews make repairs as quickly as possible, it's not certain they will be able to keep up with the damage.
“Russia has responded to Ukraine's success on the battlefield by once again attacking not on the battlefield, but attacking the civilians of Ukraine. Trying to turn off the lights, turn off the heat, turn off the water. It's cowardly. It's brutal,” Portman said at a news conference. “We cannot let this stand.”

It’s suck that we are starting to take in whole countries as “refugees”.
Putin can careless.
It’s us US citizens that don’t the US to continue to dump our taxpayer money into a blackhole that care, propaganda peddler.
How about promising to close the southern border of their own country?
don’t want*
The next term will be like 2014: a GOP Congress authorizing more than a Democrat POTUS will deliver.
How about kicking Russian corruption and influence out of Europe? That is both the morally right thing to do and beneficial to the US economically. Or we can Make Russia Great Again. Decisions, decisions.
To get any money to be spent to protect the US southern borders, the southern sates will have to get into a war with Russia.
Chuckle.
Hey Portman you useless POS. Just stay in Ukraine. Your Senate gig is up 1 Jan so DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT COMING HOME TO OHIO!!!!
America first.
I am far more concerned about the massive Ukraine corruption in Washington DC, especially involving the Biden family going back a decade at least.
Cannot wait until Portman is GONE.
Commitment by a “lame duck” Portman?
“NASA is sharing the sound of a Blackhole....and they named it”

Exactly. These senators need to promise to take care of Americans at home before they worry about flushing money down the Ukraine commode.
We here in the Buckeye are very proud to have our own communist Senator Portman . He proudly votes with the democrat block to insure the destruction of our great state and nation . Yay ! Portman !
