“On the call, Durbin and Yatsenyuk discussed ongoing acts of Russian aggression towards Ukraine, U.S.-Ukraine security cooperation and assistance, and concerns with the Nord Stream 2 pipeline,” reads the statement released on the official website of U.S. Senator following the meeting.

U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Co-Chair of the Senate Ukraine Caucus also expressed his continued support for strong bipartisan Congressional backing for Ukraine.
