- As usual, the Russian propaganda machine is working overtime, but for the United States, helping to free Ukraine from Russian war criminals is a good investment, said US Senator Lindsey Graham, after Russian authorities issued a warrant for him for allegedly calling for the death of Russians.

Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina, is visiting Kiev. Last night, a video of his meeting with fellow Ukrainian President Volodomir Zelensky appeared on social networks. In the video, Graham says "freedom or death", to which Zelensky replies that "now you are free, and we will be free". Then Graham says, "and the Russians are dying," after which the footage is spliced ​​with another shot of the senator saying, "that's money well spent."

A series of American media, referring to Zelenski's office, later showed the entire recording of the meeting, which shows that it was staged and the senator does not call for the death of the Russians.

As reported, in response to Graham's line that the Russians were dying, Zelensky specified, "yes, but they came to our territory. We are not fighting on their territory." k
