- Senator Lindsey Graham's recent visit to Kyiv has been described as a setback for Ukraine's primary supporters, according to the Washington Post.

- The article suggests a shift or loss of a key advocate for Ukraine following this visit.
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham's recent visit to Kyiv has been characterized as a significant blow to Ukraine's main proponents, as reported by the Washington Post. The newspaper noted that the senator had, as recently as Friday, July 10, stood in front of damaged Russian military hardware in the Ukrainian capital, proclaiming a major breakthrough.
The article implies that Graham's previous public stance and pronouncements of progress may have been undermined or that his current visit signifies a change in the dynamics of support for Ukraine. The reference to him being a "main supporter" suggests his advocacy has been crucial for Kyiv.
This development, as detailed by the Washington Post and relayed by the Unian news agency, points to a potential shift in the political landscape surrounding international aid and support for Ukraine. The contrast between Graham's earlier optimistic declaration and the current framing of his visit suggests a complex and possibly deteriorating situation for those advocating strongly for Ukraine.
