US senators to meet with Zelensky in Washington on July 28 — news agency
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet with all 100 US senators and President Donald Trump in Washington on July 28. The visit coincides with a planned Senate vote on sanctions against Russia and Zelensky's expected attendance at the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to visit Washington on July 28, where he will meet with all 100 members of the US Senate and President Donald Trump, according to multiple reports. The visit coincides with a planned Senate vote on a sanctions bill against Russia and Zelensky's expected attendance at the funeral of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.
Coverage comparison
Reports from the Jerusalem Post and TASS (English) both confirm the core details of the visit. The Jerusalem Post, citing two Senate aides, reported that all 100 senators have been invited to a meeting with Zelensky on Tuesday evening. TASS, citing Reuters, also reported that all US senators have been invited to the meeting. Both outlets agree that the Senate is expected to begin voting on a sanctions bill during Zelensky's visit, though TASS notes that the final vote may occur by the end of the week.
There is some divergence in the framing. The Jerusalem Post emphasizes the sanctions bill and Zelensky's priority of anti-ballistic defense and strategic cooperation with the US. TASS highlights the meetings with Trump and Graham's funeral, and notes that Graham is on Russia's list of terrorists and extremists—a detail not present in the Jerusalem Post report. Additionally, TASS's second article, based on diplomatic sources quoted by the Ukrainian publication Obschestvennoye. Novosti, specifies that Zelensky's visit will take place on July 28, without mentioning the Senate meeting or the sanctions bill.

Zelensky to meet with President Trump: TASS reports that Zelensky is expected to meet with Trump on July 28, and that they will discuss the Ukrainian settlement.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
