That is reflected in the fact that most Republicans in Congress are closer to Biden on Ukraine policy. But Republicans in Congress have been supportive of U.S. sanctions on Russia, Putin and Putin's allies. Many of them have pressed the administration to levy heavier sanctions faster."I was pleased to hear President Biden’s call for national and world unity in support of our ally Ukraine as it faces a brutal assault from Russia," Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said in a statement Tuesday night.
