Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina once again expresses that the main objective of the Ukraine war it should be to eliminate Vladimir Putin because there is no “way out”, if the Russian president remains in power.

On another occasion, this feeling was reflected through his social networks where you can read: “Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian Army? Not satisfied, during a press conference he also added that “I hope they eliminate it.”
And he also bluntly added that: “I wish someone had taken Hitler out in the years 30”, calling Putin a “war criminal” and “not a legitimate leader“. He said that the Russian people need to “rise up and put an end to this reign of terror”, were the words of the republican.

Now, again during an interview for the news, Lindsey Graham recounted her discomfort with the Russian president, expressing that if he is still standing after everything he has caused, then the world will be a dark place, reported Newsweek.
“If you don’t understand this, if Putin is still standing after all this, then the world will be a very dark place. China will get the wrong signal and we will have a mess on our hands in Europe for decades to come. So let’s eliminate Putin by helping Ukraine “, Said the politician from Carolina of the South.
Lindsey Graham shared that her greatest wish is that Ukraine won this war that broke out when Russia invaded them last 24 February.
“Someone is going to win and someone is going to lose. And I hope, pray and do everything in my power to make sure Ukraine wins“, said the Republican from South Carolina.
After making the first comments last March, the press asked the President Joe Biden and he at that time expressed that there might be a peaceful solution to the invasion and condemned the expressions of the Republican senator.
Although a few months later, the US president expressed something similar: “For the love of God, this man cannot remain in power”, reported Newsweek.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki also spoke about the statements made by Senator Graham and her specified: “That is not the position of the United States government and certainly not a statement you hear from the mouth of anyone who works in this administration”.
The Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov said that what Graham expressed was “unacceptable and outrageous”.
