Lindsey Graham Placed on Wanted List as Russia Threatens 'Killing Senators'

Russia has placed Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, on a wanted list after accusing him of praising the deaths of Russians in the Ukraine war, state-run media reported on Monday.

"Graham, Lindsey Olin, American, born July 9, 1955, is wanted under the article of the Criminal Code," the Russian Interior Ministry said, news agencies Tass and RIA Novosti reported, without specifying what crime he is suspected of.

Graham visited Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, on Friday, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, telling him that U.S. military aid to the country was "the best money we've ever spent." The Kremlin rebuked his remarks, referring to an edited video in which Graham appeared to praise the killing of Russians in the ongoing war in Ukraine.
