Russia is seeking the arrest of Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) after an edited video made it appear the senator supported the United States in spending money to kill Russians in Ukraine.
The video showed Graham meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenksy saying, “the Russians are dying” and that aid to Ukraine is “the best money we’ve ever spent.”
Graham responded to the warrant, stating, “I will wear the arrest warrant issued by Putin’s corrupt and immoral government as a Badge of Honor,” noting, “To know that my commitment to Ukraine has drawn the ire of Putin’s regime brings me immense joy. I will continue to stand with and for Ukraine’s freedom until every Russian soldier is expelled from Ukrainian territory.”

The Russian Foreign Ministry dismissed the idea that Graham’s words had been edited to be shown out of context as a “clumsy” excuse, according to TASS. “It is already impossible to clean oneself [and one’s reputation] from the stain of such remarks, even if they were uttered separately,” the ministry said.
