Kostin thanked the senators for their comprehensive and bipartisan support for Ukraine.

“We all recognize that today, the free world is at a critical juncture, and we must stand as united as ever to stop Russia and ensure the Kremlin regime is held fully accountable,” the prosecutor general said.

Kostin noted that that is why the supplemental appropriation request of the U.S. President's Administration to finance additional assistance to Ukraine is truly vital. He also said he looks forward to the esteemed Senators' support in this critical matter.

I hope they will receive support in the U.S. Congress,” he said.
