Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) announced Monday they are launching the Senate Ukraine Caucus to boost ties between Washington and Kiev.

The "key focus" of the brand new Senate Ukraine Caucus "will be to play a prominent role in advocating for and coordinating more robust American efforts to support Ukraine," Portman said in a statement.

"In the face of continued Russian aggression in the region and repeated assaults on the sovereignty of its borders, Ukraine needs a steadfast ally in the United States," Durbin, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, added.

"This bipartisan group sends a clear message that Ukraine has the unflinching support of the Ukrainian community in Illinois and in the United States Senate."
