Russia Issues Arrest Warrant For Sen. Lindsey Graham

The Hill reports:

Russia’s Interior Ministry has issued an arrest warrant for Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) after he praised U.S. military aid to Ukraine as “the best money we’ve ever spent.”

Russian officials reacted to a video of Graham’s meeting Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which Graham acknowledged “Russians are dying” and then said in another moment that “it’s the best money we ever spent.”

Graham appeared to make the comments in different parts of the conversation, which was edited and posted on Zelensky’s social media account. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said “Graham shouldn’t have done that” and called the 67-year-old lawmaker an “old fool.”
