flag U.S. senators visited Odesa in Feb 2026, urging sanctions on Russia’s energy exports amid stalled peace talks and ongoing attacks.

flag A bipartisan group of U.S. senators visited Odesa, Ukraine, in February 2026, highlighting ongoing Russian attacks and urging Congress to pass new sanctions targeting Russia’s energy exports, “shadow fleet,” and foreign support. flag The visit coincided with stalled U.S.-brokered peace talks, as both sides remain entrenched on territorial and security issues. flag Senators stressed that Ukraine seeks sovereignty and territorial integrity, and that sustained pressure through sanctions and military aid is essential. flag While a sweeping sanctions bill has bipartisan backing and could reach the Senate floor with 60 votes, disagreements over tariffs have delayed progress, particularly in the House. flag The delegation emphasized continued U.S. support, noting that Russia responds to strength, not diplomacy.
