Ukrainian President Zelenskyy Meets Trump in Washington Amidst Push for New Russia Sanctions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Washington D.C. for meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump and other American officials, aiming to secure fresh military backing and revive efforts to end the war with Russia. The meeting comes as the U.S. Senate prepares to vote on a bipartisan package of new sanctions against Russia and Iran, which would empower President Trump to impose more restrictions on major buyers of Russian energy and target countries aiding Russia's sanctions evasion. This visit is seen as a crucial opportunity for Zelenskyy to strengthen U.S. support, especially given Trump's shifting stance on Ukraine.
