These are hellish sanctions against Russia, sanctions that will force it to peace. During the conversation with the Chairman of the US Senate Budget Committee Lindsey Graham and Senator Richard Blumenthal ... we discussed in detail the content of the sanctions, the ways of their implementation and the time frames. I informed about the regular Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure. This is conscious terror against civilians
He said that during the meeting, the need for further strengthening of Ukraine's air defense as a key element of protecting people and critical infrastructure was also discussed.
I thanked Senator Graham for promoting the initiative to transfer Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. I invited the senators to visit Ukraine again. Support for Ukraine in the US Congress remains bipartisan - and that is what makes it sustainable
