U.S. Senator Rob Portman has said that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is a pro-America reformer who can become a serious partner of the United States.
In a post on Twitter, he wrote: “I have met President [Volodymyr] Zelensky, who is a pro-America reformer. He has the potential to be one of America’s strongest partners and he needs our support fighting Russian aggression”.

Portman has added that “the security assistance should be transferred to Ukraine now”.

“I strongly support and have worked to secure continued security assistance to Ukraine. In June, DoD announced it would transfer $250 million in additional security assistance to help Ukraine defend its sovereignty from Russian aggression,” he wrote.

According to the senator, this security assistance provides important lethal and non-lethal assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces to help them defend Ukraine’s sovereignty.

“Right now this security assistance is being held up by OMB despite strong interagency support & bipartisan backing on Capitol Hill,” Portman wrote.
