All 100 US senators invited to meet Volodymyr Zelensky during Lindsey Graham funeral
One of the aides said the Senate was also expected to begin voting during Zelensky's visit on a bill to impose sanctions on Russia that was championed by Graham.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was invited to meet with all 100 US senators on Tuesday evening during his visit to Washington for the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham. During his visit, the Senate was also expected to begin voting on a bill championed by Graham to impose sanctions on Russia, aimed at reducing revenue from Russian energy sales to fund its war in Ukraine. The legislation, pending for about a year, has been modified to a 100% tariff from a previous 500% to gain support, though it has raised concerns in Congress regarding potential new presidential war powers. Zelensky, who arrived Tuesday morning, stated that anti-ballistic defense and strategic cooperation with the US were the "number one priority" for his meetings.
