He expressed gratitude for their bipartisan support and the passage of the Lindsey Graham sanctions bill, stating that its full implementation would bring peace and security. Zelensky and the senators agreed to enhance cooperation on sanctions in the future.
The Ukrainian leader also briefed the senators on his proposals for de-escalation, which he plans to discuss with the U.S. President.
