Ukrainian president says ‘most of the lives that could have been taken by the [strikes] were saved’
Russia’s interior ministry has put US senator Lindsey Graham on a wanted list, Russian news agency TASS has reported.
Graham visited Kyiv last week and met president Volodymyr Zelenskiy, telling the Ukrainian leader that US military aid to the country was “the best money we’ve ever spent”. Russia criticised his remarks, accusing him of praising the murder of Russians.
The release by the Ukrainian president’s office of Graham’s complete remarks showed there was no such link.
Graham said he was visiting on the 457th day of a war that Russia had assumed would be completed within three days and Graham said Ukrainians resisting the invasion reminded him of “our better selves in America. There was a time in America that we were this way, fighting to the last person, we were going to be free or die.”
