Senators Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) depart today to travel to Georgia, Poland, and Ukraine as members of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

"We are going to Tbilisi, Warsaw, and Kyiv to meet with the leaders of these important American allies and to discuss the Russian invasion of Georgia," said Senator Lieberman. "This is a moment in history when it is vital for the world's democracies to stand in solidarity."

"It's important that Members of the United States Congress show support and solidarity for these young democracies, particularly in light of the recent aggression against Georgia," said Senator Graham. "I believe it is in our own national security interests to stop Russia from continuing its aggressive actions against Georgia or threatening other countries in the region."
