Ukraine and its allies hope Graham isn’t their last ally with Trump’s ear

Ukraine and its allies are concerned about retaining support in Washington following the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, a key advocate for sanctions against Russia. Graham facilitated dialogue between Kyiv and Trump-aligned figures, and his recent efforts included advancing legislation to target Russian oil buyers. Ukrainian officials emphasize ongoing collaboration with Trump's team and Congress to pressure Russia, but uncertainty remains about who will replace Graham in influencing Trump's stance.
