A Momentous Visit to Ukraine

After landing in Ukraine, I was first escorted to the Donbas region — a primary focal point of the war, where battle is still being waged. Since its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Russian Federation has illegally seized territory throughout the region, but the Ukrainians are now successfully pushing Russian forces back. While there, I met with Ukrainian troops at a frontline operations center to learn about their success in the Donbas and assure them of U.S. support.
