Head of State Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the results of telephone talks with US Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal, during which they discussed a new US sanctions package against Russia. The President of Ukraine stressed that Kyiv and Washington are close to finalizing documents on ending the Russian war and security guarantees.
Points of attention
- Progress is reported in finalizing documents with President Trump's representatives, signaling closer ties between Kyiv and Washington.
- The call for allies to join forces in pressuring the Kremlin underscores the shared goal of achieving peace and stability in the region.
New US sanctions against Russia are in the final stages
According to the head of state, Kyiv and Washington see many different factors that make Putin, and therefore all of Russia, much weaker.
Against this background, Zelenskyy called on allies, primarily the United States, to maximize all possible forms of pressure to ultimately force the Kremlin to end this war.
We discussed the current status of the senators' sanctions bill, which could significantly affect the positions of Russia and all those who help it in this war. I also talked about the progress of our contacts with President Trump's representatives, we are already very close to finalizing the documents.
