Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Washington D.C. Tuesday for a meeting with former President Donald Trump and to attend the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). The meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump marks their second this month. Graham’s final act as a public official was a visit to Kyiv, where he secured an agreement on sanctions.
The trip comes after a far-right activist with ties to the U.S. presidential administration reportedly visited Ukraine prior to Zelenskyy's arrival. The purpose of that earlier visit is not detailed in available reporting.
Graham’s death has prompted expressions of respect from across the political spectrum, and his recent focus on aid to Ukraine was a key element of his foreign policy work. His final trip to Kyiv secured an agreement on sanctions intended to pressure Russia.
The meeting between Zelenskyy and Trump is occurring as Ukraine continues to seek support in its conflict with Russia. While details of their discussion are not yet public, it follows previous engagements between the two leaders, suggesting ongoing dialogue despite changes in U.S. administration. No right-leaning sources reported on this story beyond the Washington Times.
