Zeelensky Will Travel to the U.S. for Talks and Lindsay Graham’s Funeral – Member of Parliament

According to People’s Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak, the President of Ukraine and his team will travel to the United States on a working visit this week. The itinerary includes a meeting on the “peace track” and attendance at the funeral of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, which will take place on July 28 in Washington, D.C.

Depending on the outcome of the talks, a meeting with the U.S. President is also possible, though this has not yet been confirmed. Due to the duration of the trip, the time difference, and travel time, the head of state will be outside Ukraine for nearly a week; therefore, according to the MP, it is unlikely that any additional domestic decisions will be made in the coming days. This concerns the fate of former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
