President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his condolences on the death of Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham and emphasized that America and the world have lost a determined leader.
According to Ukrinform, Zelensky wrote about this on Facebook.
“Deeply saddened by the news of the passing of United States Senator Lindsey Graham. Lindsey was a true defender of freedom and the values that make our world safer. He visited Ukraine ten times during the years of Russia's full-scale invasion and was here with our people when it was most needed. We remained in constant dialogue, and I will miss our conversations. We met twice in just the past week,” the president stated.
He said that Graham, who had actively promoted bipartisan and bicameral support for Ukraine, had been working in recent weeks on important initiatives that could help bring peace closer, particularly to strengthen sanctions against Russia.
“We will always be especially grateful for the recognition of our people and words of admiration for the courage of Ukraine’s defenders. America and the world have lost a determined leader. Our condolences go out to Lindsey’s family, loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him,” Zelensky wrote.
