Quote: "I thank President Trump for signing this critically important legislation. I thank all the senators and members of the House of Representatives who supported it. The best way to honour Lindsey's memory will be to implement the provisions of this law fully and swiftly.
And the best reward for everyone helping us put pressure on Russia to end its war will be peace. Peace – and an end to all the problems and challenges this war has brought."
Details: Zelenskyy recalled that whenever Lindsey Graham visited Ukraine, he had stressed the importance of maintaining pressure on Russia, strengthening sanctions and seeking a path to peace.
Quote: "In particular, in those capitals that choose to buy Russian oil, provide financial services to Russia, and allow Russian companies linked to Putin and the war to engage in normal business relations in other countries."
Details: Zelenskyy also noted that "Senator Graham never doubted for a second that America has enough strength to stand up to dictators and achieve results if it acts THE RIGHT WAY".
Quote: "Peace comes through strength. Calm comes through security. And the best guarantee of security is resolve. I thank everyone who resolutely defends life! I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine! America, thank you!"
