“True friends of Ukraine visited Kyiv today — US senators Lindsey Graham, Richard Blumenthal, and Sheldon Whitehouse. Key topics of cooperation were discussed: weapons, finance, energy, sanctions, and recovery of Ukraine. Right now, the meeting of “Ramstein” [an international conference to coordinate further support to Ukraine – ed.] is in progress, so we expect powerful results. Along with military support, it is important to strengthen sanctions against the aggressor[Russian army – ed.] — we expect restrictions, in particular, against the Russian nuclear sphere,” explained the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
The Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal thanked the senators for their contribution to the strengthening of Ukraine. Their support for the law, which includes $45 billion for Ukraine, is a significant symbol of solidarity.
This is not the first visit of senators to Ukraine. They visited the capital in May and July 2022.
