President Volodymyr Zelensky is considering a diplomatic visit to the US before the end of July that could include attending the funeral of late US Senator Lindsey Graham and holding a bilateral meeting with President Donald Trump, according to Ukrainian broadcaster Suspilne. The Presidential Office is working on plans for the visit, Suspilne reported Wednesday, citing diplomatic sources. The potential meeting with Trump would focus on continued diplomatic efforts aimed at ending Russia’s war against Ukraine.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. According to the report, Zelensky has received an invitation to attend the farewell ceremony for Graham, one of Ukraine’s most prominent supporters in the US Senate and the driving force behind legislation seeking additional sanctions against Russia. The trip, however, has not yet been finalized. The full schedule, list of meetings and participants, as well as the duration of Zelensky’s stay in the US, remain under discussion. Diplomatic sources also told Suspilne that Ukrainian officials are considering who could lead the delegation if Zelensky ultimately cannot attend. Graham died unexpectedly on the evening of July 11 at the age of 71, just one day after meeting Zelensky in Kyiv. A preliminary finding from the Washington, D.C. medical examiner identified an aortic dissection – a tear in the body’s main artery – linked to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
