- Zelensky on Monday lobbied a bipartisan group of US senators to press the Trump administration to remove what he claimed are restrictions on intelligence sharing and weapons supplies to Ukraine.
- Ukrainian officials assert the Trump administration has quietly imposed these restrictions, prompting the outreach to Congress rather than direct White House engagement.
Why it matters: If the alleged restrictions are real, they directly affect Ukraine's battlefield capabilities against Russia and indicate a behind-the-scenes shift in US support that Zelensky is attempting to reverse via congressional pressure rather than Oval Office diplomacy — a notable escalation in the lobbying posture.
