Lindsey Graham under fire for cheering death of Russian soldiers​

Washington, May 30 (RHC)-- U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham has come under fire for cheering the death of Russian soldiers fighting in pro-Moscow regions in eastern Ukraine.  During a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev last week, Graham said that "Russians dying" in Ukraine is the "best money the U.S. has ever spent" in reference to the tens of billions of dollars of American military aid sent to Kiev to fight Moscow.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov hit back at Graham's provocative remarks, saying the Republican lawmaker from South Carolina is a "shame" to the United States.  “It is difficult to imagine a greater shame for the country than to have such senators,” Peskov said on Sunday.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev called Graham an old fool, in a post on his Telegram account.  "The old fool Senator Lindsey Graham said that the United States has never spent money so successfully as on the murder of Russians," Medvedev said.  "He shouldn't have done that."

“In his beloved America, not only ordinary people are regularly killed, but dirty money is also being spent on killing senators.  He should recall the sad fate of Robert Kennedy, Huey Long, Clementa Carlos Pinckney, John Milton Elliott, Wayne Owens, and other American politicians,” he warned.

Medvedev said last week that broader military involvement and providing more destructive and advanced weapons by Western nations to Ukraine increases the probability of a “nuclear apocalypse.”
