U.S. Senators Rob Portman (Republican-Ohio) and Chris Coons (Democrat-Delaware) have vowed that bipartisan support will continue for Ukraine after next week's midterm congressional elections, as they travelled to Kyiv. The senators told reporters that they had "very positive" talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and that they had visited an energy facility that Coons said had been hit by a Russian strike using an Iranian-supplied drone. The visit comes amid speculation that the Republicans, seen as favorites to take control of the House of Representatives after the November 8 midterm elections, could dampen U.S. support for Ukraine.
