Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in the wake of the Republican&#8217;s recent meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In a video from their May 26 meeting, Graham is heard telling the Ukrainian leader U.S. aid to support Ukraine was the &#8220;best money we&#8217;ve ever spent.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Threats and Arrest Warrant<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cIf [Lindsey] Graham really said that the money for the killing of Russians is the best money the U.S. ever spent \u2014 I hope that in our country, the sons or grandchildren of Sudoplatov [the lieutenant] are alive, Sudoplatov\u2019s pupils, or the descendants of his pupils,\u201d Margarita Simonyan said, according to a translated video posted by Russian Media Monitor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s not even hard. We have his address. We have his telephone number,\u201d Simonyan said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Russian news agency Tass, Russia&#8217;s interior ministry put Graham on a wanted list for \u201cRussophobic remarks,\u201d ordering his arrest on Monday under the country\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/health-official-slaps-fines-criminal-charges-against-church-elders-for-refusing-to-let-him-disrupt-service\/\" title=\"Health Official Slaps Fines, Criminal Charges Against Church Elders For Refusing To Let Him Disrupt Service\">criminal code<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Graham responded to the arrest warrant on Twitter Monday morning by saying, \u201cI will wear the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-viral-image-claims-daunte-wright-had-an-arrest-warrant-for-a-marijuana-related-fine\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Viral Image Claims Daunte Wright Had An Arrest Warrant For A Marijuana-Related Fine\">arrest warrant issued<\/a> by Putin\u2019s corrupt and immoral government as a Badge of Honor.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Edited Video<\/h3>\n<p>Later, Ukraine released a longer video of Graham&#8217;s visit, showing that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-sen-doug-jones-to-join-cnn-as-commentator\/\" title=\"Former Sen. Doug Jones to join CNN as commentator\">senator made<\/a> the two remarks in different parts of the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham considers his words were taken out of context by the Ukrainian regime, and he doesn&#8217;t actually think in the way presented, then he can make a statement on video with his phone,&#8221; Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a video posted on Telegram, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>Russia based the charges on the edited video of his meeting with Zelensky, and Zakharova noted in the video posted by Russian Media Monitor that there was a split between the two remarks.<\/p>\n<h3>Graham&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cTo know that my commitment to Ukraine has drawn the ire of Putin\u2019s regime brings me immense joy,\u201d Graham added Monday. \u201cI will continue to stand with and for Ukraine\u2019s freedom until every Russian soldier is expelled from Ukrainian territory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Finally, here\u2019s an offer to my Russian \u2018friends\u2019 who want to arrest and try me for calling out the Putin regime as being war criminals: I will submit to jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court if you do,&#8221; Graham tweeted. &#8220;Come and make your best case. See you in The Hague!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I have no ill will towards anyone,&#8221; Zakharova continued, adding that their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/head-of-russian-state-media-calls-for-lindsey-graham-to-be-assassinated-we-have-his-address\/\" title=\"Russian media leader threatens Lindsey Graham's life, claiming to know his address.\">religion urges forgiveness<\/a>, &#8220;but no one tells us to reward these types of things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a tense situation, but Graham is standing firm in his commitment to Ukraine and his belief in the importance of aid to the country. Only time will tell how this situation will play out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The leader of a Russian state broadcaster made a ridiculous threat towards Sen.
