Russian Investigative Committee chief Alexander Bastrykin has instructed the relevant authorities to initiate a criminal investigation into the Russophobic remarks made by US Senator Lindsey Graham, the investigative body said on Sunday.
Graham, who represents South Carolina in Congress, flew to Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, after which he called on the Biden administration to ramp up support for the authorities in Kiev that are conducting an ongoing proxy war against Russia.
The neocon chickenhawk himself responded to Russia’s criticism by saying that he was “simply praising Ukrainian resistance.”
