Ukraine seeks MAGA backing as Zelenskyy pitches sanctions and peace talks

Ukraine is courting anti-interventionist Republicans to preserve U.S. support, with Zelenskyy meeting MAGA figures like Laura Loomer and pressing for sanctions, a drone deal, Patriot missiles, and peace talks. While some GOP voices, including JD Vance, signal openness, many MAGA-aligned lawmakers remain skeptical and Trump’s stance is still unclear, even as Kyiv highlights battlefield gains and mourns Sen. Lindsey Graham’s death, a key ally’s loss that could influence congressional support.
