Senator Supports Sending U.S. Troops To Ukraine

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday he would support the United States training Ukrainian forces overseas.

“Yes, I do support us training inside the country. The delay and weapons because of House inaction, we did lose momentum. But from the very beginning, the Biden administration, they did not impose pre-invasion sanctions to deter Putin. They didn’t give weapons to Ukraine early on to deter Putin. And now we got a chance to reset this war that they have the weapons,” Graham said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

He also said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wants the U.S. to go after Russia’s assets throughout the world to give it to his country.

“Here’s what he wanted most of all: for us to go after the Russian assets all over the world. Take the money from the sovereign wealth, funds of Russia and give it to Ukraine. There’s $300 billion sitting in Europe, from Russia. And sovereign wealth assets that we should seize and give to Ukraine,” he said.
