US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv to discuss strengthening Ukraine's air defence and progress on a Russia sanctions bill. Graham stated that he had reached an agreement with the White House on a version of the bill. This was Graham's tenth visit to Ukraine.
Sanctions Bill Agreement
Graham said he, along with Senators Richard Blumenthal and Jeanne Shaheen, worked with the Trump administration to draft a bill acceptable to the White House. The agreement was reached about half an hour before the announcement, giving the legislation a clear path to becoming law.
Next Steps
After returning to Washington, Graham and Blumenthal plan to approach Republican and Democratic leaders to determine if time can be found to advance the Russia sanctions package. Graham believes the legislation would provide President Trump with additional tools to help bring the war to an end.
