Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the US Senate's procedural vote advancing a Russia sanctions bill. He met with over sixty senators, discussing continued US support and anti-ballistic defense. Zelenskyy also met with US President Donald Trump, which went very well. He discussed expanding defense-industrial cooperation with Lockheed Martin executives. This visit aimed to bolster Ukraine's air defense and deepen strategic cooperation.

Kyiv is moving beyond aid requests toward co-production and sanctions as Congress weighs how much pressure to put on Moscow.

The US Senate will vote Tuesday on Russian sanctions, days after Ukraine attacked an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea.
