Bipartisan group of senators meet with Ukraine President Zelenskyy as Russian troops amass on border

Seven bipartisan senators are in Ukraine to meet with President Zelenskyy and officials to reaffirm the U.S.' commitment to Ukraine as Russian troops amass at the border.

A bipartisan group of seven U.S. senators arrived in Ukraine Monday to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other officials in what they say is a show of commitment to the country as an "increasingly belligerent Russia" bears down on its border.

"Today, U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-OH) Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) announced they are traveling to Ukraine this week to meet with President Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian officials to reaffirm the U.S.' commitment to Ukraine, which continues to face an increasingly belligerent Russia," said a statement released by the group Monday.

Shaheen said in a tweet the meeting was productive and made clear that "Putin will not be allowed to target our Eastern European partners and allies w/o consequences."

ABC News Senior Foreign Correspondent Ian Pannell met up with Sens. Shaheen and Murphy in Kyiv to discuss the purpose of their trip.
