Kyiv edited a video in which a US senator called the death of Russians the “most successful” waste of US money, writes Reuters.

As the agency notes, in a published by Zelensky's officeIn the video, Lindsey Graham's words are taken out of context and it seems that both phrases are uttered together, but in fact they are not.
In a conversation with Zelensky, Graham is said to have noted that Ukrainian "resistance" reminds him of how Americans once fought in the past, choosing between freedom and death.

Zelensky replied to this: "Now you are free - and we will." Graham added: "And the Russians are dying." At the same time, the full recording of the meeting was never shown.

✔If Senator Graham believes that his words are taken out of context, then he himself can make a statement on this matter and comment on the situation, Maria Zakharova said.

“He can take the phone, turn on the video camera, point it at himself and record a short video. And only then will we all find out what really happened,” said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

#3 Too bad US authorities can't issue an arrest warrant for Graham (and RNC leadership) for impersonating a politician.

#4 Senator Lindsey emits all kinds of rhetoric every term.

His legislative accomplishments however have basically been near zero for many years.

#6 Let me get this straight.

Graham gives a speech, Ukraine edits it to what they think is the correct message, but what is the ugliest stereotype of the last 20 years of US Foreign Policy , and Graham is like That's Fine, maybe even better than what I said?

#7 I am offended that the Russians think they can hate Lindsey more than we do.

#9 Lindsey's warmongering is to overcompensate for his homosexuality.

#12 Here's Miss Lindsey making promises to Ukrainians that Biden is now struggling to keep. Of course, he has his nose so far up McCain's butt that he probably doesn't even know where is. Gotta wonder how many of those men he's addressing are still alive.
