Former U.S. Navy Captain, Astronaut and current Democratic Senator from Arizona, Mark Kelly travelled to Ukraine this weekend, where he met with officials at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv as well as Ukrainian military leaders, visited defense industry sites, heard from wounded service members, and met with the International Red Cross Committee.
Following his visit, Senator Kelly, who has traveled to Ukraine three times since 2023 and is the first member of Congress to visit the country since the recent heated-confrontation with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, stated, “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.” With him adding, “The world will become a very cold and lonely place if we continue this ridiculous “screw you, go it alone” foreign policy — America is the strongest, richest country in the world. We didn’t get there by being bullies like Putin, we got there by leading from the front and bringing our allies.”
