Russia on Sunday blasted U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham for telling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv that “the Russians are dying” and that U.S. backing for Ukraine was the best money Washington had ever spent.
Zelenskiy informed Graham, “Now we are free” at a Friday meeting. “And the Russians are dying,” Graham stated in a Ukrainian presidential press agency video.
Graham smiles and says, “It’s the best money we’ve ever spent.” But, unfortunately, the video of the Ukrainian presidential press service didn’t show Graham’s words in order.
Sunday’s request for a complete transcript of Graham’s meeting remarks went unanswered by the Ukrainian president’s administration.
Russia slammed Graham’s remarks. “It is difficult to imagine a greater shame for a country than having such senators,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Shot Telegram.
Dmitry Medvedev, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman, dubbed 67-year-old Republican Graham, an old idiot.
“The old fool Senator Lindsey Graham said that the United States has never spent money so successfully as on the murder of Russians,” said Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev. “He shouldn’t have done that.”
“As usual the Russia propaganda machine is hard at work,” Graham told Reuters in an email on Sunday, alluding to Medvedev’s statements about his Kyiv visit, which he used to encourage Washington to deploy more weapons to Ukraine.
Graham said to Zelenskiy, “Ukraine has adopted the American mantra, ‘Live Free or Die.'” To rescue Ukraine from Russian war criminals, the U.S. invested well.”
“Mr. Medvedev, if you want Russians to stop dying in Ukraine, withdraw,” he said. Don’t invade. Stop war crimes. “You and Putin could care less about Russian soldiers,” he remarked.
On Sunday, Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted that the best investment the U.S. and West could make was “in a complete and unconditional victory of Ukraine.”
