Russia’s Interior Ministry has issued an arrest warrant for U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham following his comments related to the fighting in Ukraine.
In a video released by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office, Graham, a South Carolina Republican, noted that “the Russians are dying” and described the U.S. military assistance to the Ukraine as “the best money we’ve ever spent.”
While Graham appeared to have made the remarks in different parts of the conversation, the video put them next to each other, causing outrage in Russia.
The Investigative Committee, the country’s top criminal investigation agency, has moved to open a criminal inquiry against Graham, and the Interior Ministry followed up by issuing the warrant.
