We are grateful that this is not the first time during the war that you have sent such an important signal, come here, support Ukraine and Ukrainians

- Zelensky said.

Richard Blumenthal said that they came to Ukraine to convey a message about the importance of military aid, about the possibility of allocating another package of military aid.

I hope that this will happen by the end of this year, and we will be working on it constantly. We are also proposing a new draft law called "Help Ukraine". It will enshrine bipartisan preparation, and we would like it to be enshrined in law, not just a presidential decision. You are defending your own security and your own freedom as well as the freedom of others. We would like to emphasize the importance of our alliance. We have been to the drone factory, and we will probably buy drones from you one day

 ," Blumenthal said.

At the same time, Lindsey Graham said that after 2.5 years of war, Ukraine continues to stand its ground.

You also went into Russia. We are proud of your leadership and you are showing a lot of things I have never seen before. They said that Kyiv would fall in three days, but you see how it turned out. You are already on Russian territory. This is brave and wonderful. I'm glad you didn't tell us about it, didn't warn us. Instead, you did it. Now the Russians are already paying the price and it's right

- Graham noted.
