WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. State Department has expressed its displeasure about Ukraine’s recent attacks on the ⁠ Russian port of Novorossiysk on the Black Sea that have impacted U.S. oil interests in ⁠Kazakhstan, Kyiv’s chief envoy to Washington said on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Ukraine does not feel abandoned by the U.S. government, its ambassador to the United States said, adding that she expected President Donald Trump to discuss ending Russia's war in Ukraine during his State of the Union speech later on Tuesday.

The resolution, which is not legally binding but carries ‌political weight, was seen as a test of ‌solidarity with Ukraine on the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion. A breakdown of voting showed that Russia, Belarus and Sudan were among the opponents while ⁠China and the United ⁠States abstained.

"Is not missing children, shelling of cities, and the killing of innocents enough? It is not a business deal — it is war," former Special Envoy Keith Kellogg said in a scathing post after the vote.

By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Democratic and Republican U.S. senators introduced a resolution on Tuesday supporting Ukraine as it battles Russian invaders, hours before President Donald Trump was due to make his nationally televised State of the Union address to the nation.
