"It was a very positive meeting. You could see the chemistry between the leaders," a source familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post. 

"Our number-one priority is anti-ballistic defense and strategic cooperation with America. Peace needs to be brought closer," Zelensky stated on an X post.

One of the aides said the Senate was also expected to begin voting during Zelensky's visit on a bill to impose sanctions on Russia that was championed by Graham.

Davyd Aloian, who oversees the Freyja project, said that an international steering committee tasked with estimating the research and development costs was due to convene for the first time soon.

The two leaders are expected to meet at a naval base, where they will hear how UK-led training programs are helping strengthen Ukraine's armed forces and deliver results on the battlefield.

Iran helped Moscow by supplying it with Shahed drones. Used in the thousands to terrorize Ukrainians, the Iranian drones have not helped Russia win the war.

"Zelensky has attacked an Iranian commercial vessel, killing a sailor. A blatant UN Charter violation done at Israel's behest to drag Europe into its war," Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi claimed.

The Ukrainian President said Russian satellite surveillance is being given to Iranian authorities with a clear correlation between the intel and subsequent Iranian strikes in Gulf states.

Zelensky hailed a long-range operation in the Caspian Sea, claiming Ukrainian forces struck a Russian warship and vessels tied to Iran-linked military logistics.
