Zelenskyy met with Senators Graham and Blumenthal to discuss Ukraine's air defense improvements and sanctions against Russia. They co-sponsored a bill imposing a 500% tariff on nations buying Russian oil, gas, and uranium. Ukraine seeks to bolster defenses against potential large-scale Russian drone attacks, particularly through investments in interceptor drones. An agreement has been reached with Germany for Patriot missile systems. There were delays in U.S. arms shipments to Ukraine, but recent developments indicate a possible resumption amid intensified Russian assaults.
Zelenskyy emphasized the necessity of improving air defenses as Russia plans to use 1,000 drones in a single attack. Strengthening defenses and investing in interceptor drones is critical.
The bipartisan bill suggests imposing a 500% tariff on goods from countries buying Russian resources, particularly targeting nations like China and India which contribute to funding Russia's war in Ukraine.
