Graham meets with Zelensky in Ukraine

by Miranda Nazzaro - 03/18/24

 

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday as further funding for the war-torn country remains in limbo amid divisions in Congress.

 

Zelensky hosted Graham in Kyiv, where the two discussed aid for Ukraine, the Ukrainian army’s needs and the Eastern European nation’s eventual integration into NATO, the Ukrainian leader wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

 

Graham’s visit comes just weeks after he voted against a $95 billion defense and foreign aid package in the Senate. The bill included $60 billion for Ukraine, including $19.85 billion to restock U.S. military weapons provided from the Pentagon’s inventory and $13.8 billion to allow Ukraine to buy weapons and munitions from U.S. industry.

 

The South Carolina Republican is one of the most outspoken GOP advocates for supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia, which surprised and frustrated lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who believed he would help muster up GOP support for the bill.

 

Defending his vote last month, Graham pointed to his concerns about the border.

 

Zelensky reiterated his plea to the U.S. on Monday to continue sending aid in support of Ukraine.

 

“It is critical that our partners continue to provide military and technical assistance, such as air defense systems and missiles,” Zelensky wrote on X, adding later, “The continued support of Ukraine by international partners, particularly the United States, is now more important than ever in implementing plans to de-occupy our territories and protect our people.”

 

In a video of Zelensky’s remarks, the president told Graham he is thankful for Congress and the Biden administration’s support over the past two years, and he asked the lawmaker what he thinks about future support for the nation.

 

In the short clip of the beginning of the meeting, Graham offered a stark prediction for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
