Fierce Ukraine supporter Lindsey Graham passed away Saturday on the heels of his tenth trip to the warzone, and at a key moment for one of the Republican senator's proudest accomplishments.

Graham had just returned from Kyiv, Ukraine, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Graham, a prominent Republican senator from South Carolina, was 71.

Mr Graham, 71, a veteran senator, is notorious for often urging the US to go to war, especially wars that favour Israel.
