Four months into Russia’s military assault on Ukraine, U.S. Sen. Jim Risch, R-Idaho, traveled over the weekend to the war-stricken nation to confer with the country’s president, take stock of the devastation and consider America’s role in the ongoing clash.
Risch, 79, the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, visited central Kyiv for a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a few other Ukrainian cities.
