Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned U.S. lawmakers Monday that disruptions to American support were hampering Ukraine’s ability to defend itself, including its efforts to intercept Russian drones. During a video call with members of the House and Senate, Zelenskyy raised concerns about reduced U.S. intelligence sharing, the Trump administration’s waiver of key sanctions on Russia and degraded Starlink satellite service, according to a statement from Sens. Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, and Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, who led the meeting. The senators said Starlink problems were hindering Ukraine’s drone-interception capabilities. They criticized the administration’s approach to Moscow in a joint statement, arguing that weakening Ukraine’s communications and air defenses while easing sanctions could work against the goal of peace. “Funding Russia’s war machine, disabling Ukraine’s satellite communications, and crippling its air defense are all impediments to peace,” Blumenthal and Tillis said. “Trying to appease a murderous thug like Vladimir Putin will only prolong this war and bring greater casualties.” The call brought Democrats and Republicans together as lawmakers push back against moves to reduce economic pressure on Russia. The senators’ account did not specify the scope of the intelligence-sharing disruptions or the Starlink service problems.
