War Profiteers Unite: Zelenskyy Meeting This Wednesday
June 3, 2025 | Sundance |
Senators Richard Blumenthal (U-DC) and Lindsey Graham (U-DC) have scheduled a delegation ofUkraine officials to come to the Senate tomorrow and help organize the pro-Ukraine narrative. The Senate is debating the anti-Russia sanctions package and key players are coordinating retention of the Ukraine payment system.
According to Politico all 100 senators have been invited to the lobbying/narrative engineering meeting, and almost all of them are likely to attend. From obvious indications, including Blumenthal and Graham supporting the recent Ukraine attacks against strategic Russian airbases, it would appear the Senate is prepared to dispatch President Trump’s efforts to organize a ceasefire.
As with all things Washington DC, to find the motive follow the money.
WASHINGTON DC — A Ukrainian delegation is set to brief U.S. senators Wednesday as lawmakers weigh a sweeping sanctions bill targeting Russia and its biggest energy customers, China and India.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said in an interview that he organized the meeting with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and noted all 100 senators were invited to attend the closed-door session.
“It’s a pivotal moment in Ukraine — and crunch time for the Senate on this bill,” said Blumenthal, noting that the legislation now has 82 co-sponsors, evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans.
The visiting delegation, he said, includes Andriy Yermak, a top adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Ukraine’s deputy defense minister, Serhii Boyev, is traveling with Yermack.
The sanctions package from Blumenthal and Graham is designed to increase pressure on Russia’s wartime economy by targeting countries that buy oil and gas — a move Blumenthal said could be a “game changer.”
