Zelensky meets with Senator Graham

The Ukrainian President announced this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"Good meeting with U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham in Kyiv. This is already his 10th visit to our country, and we appreciate this support," Zelensky said.

He thanked Senator Graham for recognizing the achievements of Ukrainian warriors.

"The stronger Ukraine is on the battlefield, the greater the chances that diplomacy will ultimately succeed. And right now, it is important that our long-range sanctions pressure on Russia be reinforced through new sanctions steps by our partners. Lindsey briefed me on the work underway in Congress on the relevant bill," the President noted.

According to Zelensky, the meeting also focused on Ukraine's urgent air defense needs to protect its citizens.

The President recalled that during the NATO Summit in Ankara, he and U.S. President Donald Trump had reached political agreements on licenses for the production of Patriot systems in Ukraine. Zelensky stressed that "it is now crucial to implement all of this at the team level."

"I thank the United States, the President, and Congress for bipartisan and consistent support from both chambers," Zelensky said.

As reported by Ukrinform, Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal reached an agreement with the White House on their version of a bill introducing sanctions against Russia and countries purchasing Russian oil.
