Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made a surprise visit to Ukraine on Friday to reaffirm U.S. support for the war-torn country as efforts to pass additional aid stall in Congress. 

Schumer and his Democratic colleagues touched down in Lviv, Ukraine, early Friday ahead of meetings at the U.S. Embassy, including one with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his Cabinet.

Maggie Hassan (D-NH) to mark the two-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion.
