Sen. Graham defends calling for Russians to assassinate President Putin, saying it would be the quickest way to end the war in Ukraine.
"The only people who can fix this are the Russian people," he wrote in a second tweet."Easy to say, hard to do. Unless you want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, be isolated from the rest of the world in abject poverty, and live in darkness you need to step up to the plate."
The Russian ambassador to the U.S., Anatoly Antonov, said on Facebook that Graham's statement was"unacceptable and outrageous" and said the degree of Russophobia and hatred of Russia in the U.S. is"off the scale."
