Arizona Senator Mark Kelly visits Ukraine

(KYMA, KECY) - Senator Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) returned from a visit to Ukraine Sunday as the country continues its fight against Russia.

In a press release, Kelly "was briefed by U.S. embassy officials and Ukrainian military leaders, visited defense industry sites, heard from wounded service members, and met with the International Red Cross Committee."

The press release says this was Kelly's third visit to the county since 2023, and he "also traveled through Poland, where he met with U.S. military officials and service members."

"I visited Ukraine to show my support for the Ukrainian people. As always, I'm blown away by their resolve as they fight for their country in the face of Putin's illegal invasion. I plan to bring what I've learned from Ukrainian leaders, service members, and the Ukrainian people back to Washington to share the direct impact our support has on the ground.

One thing is clear: No one wants this war to end more than President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people. But it has to end in a way that protects their sovereignty and security. The safety of Ukraine is tied to the safety of the United States, that's why I stand with Ukraine."
