WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released the following statement today on Ukraine’s election:
“The people of Ukraine today sent a clear message to the international community: by peaceful means, they alone will determine their country’s future.
