  • McConnell recently traveled to Europe to underscore Republican support for Ukraine.
  • He told one reporter that members of his party opposed to aiding the country get "way too much attention."
  • Other prominent Republicans have argued that the cost of US support for Ukraine is too high.

As questions linger about the future of US aid to Ukraine, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is seeking to make clear that a majority of Republicans in Congress are still supporting the country in its war against Russia.
