A bipartisan pair of US senators met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Friday and urged stronger sanctions against Russia, while uncertainty swirls over whether the next round of peace talks will move ahead in the coming days.
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut met with Zelensky and other top Ukrainian officials in the capital. Their visit came just days after Russia launched its biggest aerial assault against Ukraine since the start of the war, and as the US ramps up pressure on Moscow to end the three-year conflict.
Among the topics discussed were the ongoing peace talks and proposed legislation to strengthen US sanctions against Russia, according to a statement from the Ukrainian presidential office.

These 2 probably have the most to loose financially if Ukraine stops laundering money.
Blumenthal can tell Z all about Nam and how he was burned all over his face and neck with a flame thrower.

You can be sure that the #1 topic discussed was more money for Ukraine.
LOL. He can coach him up on the art of stolen valor.
As you can see, they already have. They also plan to sabotage President Trump.
This is the trash that Linda Graham keeps as butt buddies.
LG stating on X 80 billion should go to Ukraine.
Just imagine the vast potential for graft associated with rebuilding Ukraine.
“This is the trash that Linda Graham keeps as butt buddies.”

South Carolina voters should take note.
There’s two real “winners”...Blumenthal and Graham...
The EU should be in charge of rebuilding Ukraine.
We've already rebuilt Western Europe through the Marshall Plan.
A deal will be based on a Russian proposal rationally modified to meet Ukrainian needs or a Ukrainian proposal rationaly modified to meet Russian needs, or a mixture.
The State Department should give Ukraine honest council and help Ukraine put a proposal the Russians will accept on the table.
If a Russian demand is unacceptable, the reasons should be stated and a reasonable alternative offered up.
No, Vlad, we aren’t going to sign over Ukraine, but we’ll agree not to attack Russian forces, equipment or facilities in Crimea and the Kerch Bridge as part of the peace deal.
Japan rebuilt itself after WW2.
A 1964 episode of “Danger Man” showed a rebuilt Japan.
You are right about that but our politicians won’t see it that way. All they see is opportunities to exploit.
Always beware which side the Enemy media is siding with.
It will tell you alot!
Shouldn’t they be in Washington DC passing Trump’s Big Beautiful bill?
I'm imagining the debate regarding the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Trump/Vance will steer the conversation towards to the EU taking responsibility.
Germany alone can afford to rebuild Ukraine. The Germans should take charge and make sure that things will get rebuilt in Ukraine. Otherwise, things "may" not get done.
