Ukrainian President Zelensky is in Washington to discuss bolstering Ukraine's air defense systems with Donald Trump, amid escalating Russian attacks. Zelensky also plans to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with both leaders attending the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham. The article notes a potential overlap between the Ukraine war and a "US-Israel war with Iran," citing a Ukrainian strike on an Iranian cargo ship and Zelensky's claims of Russia sharing satellite imagery with Tehran. Meanwhile, Moscow reported intercepting over 390 Ukrainian drones. Zelensky's previous discussions with Trump in July preceded Ukrainian strikes on Russian logistics hubs.
