McCain, Flake meet with Ukrainian leaders

Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake were in Ukraine on Saturday on a diplomacy trip.

They were joined by US Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) on the trip as part of the American delegation.

Both McCain and Flake kept their Twitter followers up to speed, tweeting throughout their trip. Both are calling for the U.S. to provide military aid to the Ukrainian region of Crimea, which is in conflict with Russia.
