Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday after a wave of Kremlin attacks last weekend. The three leaders discussed a legislative initiative to strengthen U.S. sanctions against Russia and ongoing peace negotiations according to Zelensky’s office.
“Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Our national security is at stake because [Russian President] Vladimir Putin will keep going and his aggression will continue not just against Ukraine but against our allies and we will be obligated by our treaty to put troops on the ground,” Blumenthal said in a Friday video post on the social media platform X.
“Now is the time to stop Putin, now is the time to support Ukraine and I’m inspired by the continuing bravery and strength of the Ukrainian people,” he added.
In response to the over three-years long war, Graham has pushed ahead a bill in the upper chamber seeking to increase sanctions on Russia in an effort to tame their aggression in Eastern Europe. Despite 82 co-sponsors for Graham’s bill, lawmakers said they will wait to put the bill on the floor until President Trump approves of harsher measures.
