Poland's Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau and a visiting US Congress delegation on Saturday discussed the possibility of adopting another package of sanctions against Russia.

A bipartisan U.S. Congressional delegation led by Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Gregory Meeks, a Democrat, and including the committee's ranking Republican Michael McCaul, came to Poland on Saturday.

Rau met with the US congressmen in the southeastern Polish city of Rzeszow, close to the Ukrainian border which hundreds of thousands of people have crossed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Poland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote later on Twitter that Rau spoke with a delegation from the US Congress about "the possibility of adopting another package of sanctions against Russia as well as military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine in response to the Russian aggression."
