Lindsay Graham, a senator in the United States, has called for someone to “eliminate” the Russian president. A statement that did not fail to make Russia react.
US Senator Lindsey Graham, close to Donald Trump, distinguished himself on Thursday, March 3, 2022 with a controversial outing. The politician called on someone to “eliminate” the Russian president for the good of humanity. Shocking words that came after the bombing of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant by the Russian armed forces.
“You will do a great service (…) to the whole world”
“The only way to end this (the war in Ukraine, editor’s note) is for someone in Russia to eliminate this man,” Lindsey Graham said, referring to Vladimir Putin in a tweet. And to add: “You will do a great service to your country (…) and to the whole world.”
Is there Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian army?
The only way to do this is for someone in Russia to take this person out.
You will do a great service to your country – and the world.

The Republican senator continued his offensive in another tweet, explaining that “the only people who can solve this problem are the Russians.” “Unless you want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, be isolated from the rest of the world in extreme poverty and live in darkness, you must take the initiative,” he urged.
Russia condemns “call for terrorism”
Anatoly Antonov, Russia’s ambassador to the United States, said the statements were “unacceptable and outrageous.” The Russian representative criticized the “extraordinary Russophobia and hatred (…)” of the United States. “It is impossible to believe that a senator from a country that is proud of moral values (…) for all mankind can afford to call for terrorism,” he said, before criticizing America’s governing destiny. by such irresponsible politicians. “
Russia demands “official explanations” and “firm condemnation of this American’s criminal statements.”
