Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to visit the United States in the coming days. ABC News has revealed another key item on his agenda.
Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, July 28.
In addition, ABC News, citing a Ukrainian official, reported that Zelenskyy will travel to Washington to attend the funeral of US Senator Lindsey Graham.
Zelenskyy and the Republican senator from South Carolina maintained a close relationship. Graham last visited Ukraine just days before his death.
Lindsey Graham's legacy
Senator Lindsey Graham died on the evening of July 11 after a brief and sudden illness.
He was one of Ukraine's strongest supporters in the US Congress and a co-author of a bipartisan bill imposing tough sanctions on Russia.
Following his death, US lawmakers introduced an updated version of the legislation that would require sanctions and tariffs against the largest buyers of Russian energy exports and countries helping Moscow circumvent restrictions.
According to media reports, the bill could be put to a vote as early as next week. One possible date is Tuesday, July 28 — the same day as Graham's funeral.
