16:25 GMT 15.07.2026 (Updated: 07:50 GMT 16.07.2026) Moscow has no reason to mourn US Senator Lindsey Graham*, who said killing Russians was his country’s “best investment,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova told a press briefing on Wednesday.
“What can we say but the truth?” Zakharova said, adding that Graham “was calling for the killing of Russians.”
Asked about Western media claims that Kiev had lost one of its best friends in Washington, she said Graham had taken up the “Russophobia baton” from late senator John McCain – and other politicians would follow.
Zakharova asked how proponents of what she equated with racism and neo-Nazism could have risen to the uppermost levels of government in states that tout themselves as champions of tolerance and human rights.
*Graham was listed as a terrorist and extremist in Russia.
