Bipartisan group of Senators travel to Poland to visit refugee sites
Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker is joining other lawmakers in Poland to talk about assess the security situation caused by the Ukrainian invasion.
Wicker, who is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, joins Sens. Rob Portman (R-OH), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) for the trip.
“Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked assault on Ukraine has threatened to plunge Europe into the deadliest conflict since 1945,” Wicker said.
“Putin’s continued attack on a sovereign nation demands a strong and united response from the U.S and our NATO allies. I am glad to visit Poland as we work together to halt Putin’s advance. I also look forward to meeting with senior Polish officials to find new avenues for cooperation in supporting our brave Ukrainian friends.”
“I am proud to stand with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle with our friend and ally Poland,” Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar said. “Poland has been a stalwart ally to Ukraine, welcoming Ukrainian refugees and providing critical resources during this unprovoked attack.”
“I am proud to join my colleagues on this important trip to Poland,” said Portman. “The Polish people continue their unwavering support for NATO after 23 years of fighting alongside the U.S. and our allies. This bipartisan delegation will send a clear message that the U.S. is thankful for their support of Ukraine and their offer of providing fighter jets, as the people of Ukraine continues to endure brutal Russian atrocities.”
The trip comes as Poland struggles to cope with the refugees it has seen cross the border with Ukraine. The majority of the 2.6 million refugees that have fled violent fighting headed directly west with 1.6 million people looking for refuge in Poland.
