VIDEO: Montage "put words in the mouth" of an American senator, the Russians issued a warrant for him
Russia has issued an arrest warrant for US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, due to a doctored recording of his meeting with the president of Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenski.
Graham met with Zelensky, and a edited video of his statements appeared on Twitter. In the video, he appears to state that the fact that Russians are dying is "money well spent."
"It's a best money we've ever spent"

The footage angered Russian officials, some of whom even called for the senator's murder.
The real version of the conversation was published by Zelenski's office. The tape shows Graham actually saying that "sending US aid to Ukraine was a worthwhile investment in global security."
