Ukraine and its allies hope Graham isn’t their last friend with Trump’s ear
Ukraine and its allies express concern that Senator Graham may be the last influential supporter with access to Donald Trump's administration.

Ukraine and its allies hope that Senator Lindsey Graham is not their last friend with Donald Trump's ear. Some argue that Ukraine's agenda in Washington will suffer, while others believe that other interlocutors close to Trump can step up to fill the role. The discussion reflects concerns about Ukraine's diminishing influence in US policy after a potential shift in the Trump administration.
Some analysts note that Graham has been one of the most vocal supporters of Ukraine among Republicans, and his absence could leave a void. Others contend that other members of Congress and officials can maintain support for Ukraine. The situation remains uncertain, and allies hope that dialogue with Trump will continue through other channels.
