<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/russia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russia</a> issued a warrant on Monday seeking the arrest of Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lindsey-graham" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lindsey Graham</a> (R-SC) after the release of an edited video that made it appear the lawmaker was celebrating the United States spending money on the killing of Russians in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ukraine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ukraine</a>.</p>
<p>After top Russian investigator Alexander Bastrykin ordered criminal proceedings, the Russian Interior Ministry added Graham to its wanted list, <a href="https://tass.com/ukraine-crisis/1624329" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Russian state news agency TASS</a>.</p>
<p>At issue is <a href="https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1663161448263208961" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a video</a>, released by Ukraine&#8217;s presidential office, showing Graham meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy last week. It was edited to show Graham saying, &#8220;the Russians are dying,&#8221; and then describing how U.S. military aid to Ukraine is &#8220;the best money we’ve ever spent,&#8221; <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/29/lindsey-graham-russia-arrest-warrant-00099150" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Associated Press</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s hard to imagine a greater shame for the country than having such senators,&#8221; said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/lindsey-graham-russia-wanted-list-ukraine-war-killing-senators-1803112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per Newsweek.</a></p>
<p>A longer video <a href="https://twitter.com/GuyReuters/status/1663112263056629761" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published by Reuters</a> shows Graham making those comments in reverse order and not directly connecting them as the original clip had suggested.</p>
<p>After making the remarks lionizing the United States&#8217; investment in helping Ukraine fend off the Russian invasion, Graham talked about how Ukrainians remind him of &#8220;our better selves in America&#8221; fighting for freedom. Zelensky pointed out that Americans are now free and Ukrainians will also be free, to which Graham then noted that &#8220;the Russians are dying.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite any confusion, Graham, who has been a staunch critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, celebrated being a wanted man in Russia.</p>
<p>&#8220;I will wear the arrest warrant issued by Putin’s corrupt and immoral government as a Badge of Honor,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=C6FE783D-6541-4E0E-9FBC-0D60615E6137" target="_blank" rel="noopener">senator said in a statement</a> on Monday. &#8220;To know that my commitment to Ukraine has drawn the ire of Putin’s regime brings me immense joy. I will continue to stand with and for Ukraine’s freedom until every Russian soldier is expelled from Ukrainian territory.&#8221;</p>
<p>Graham also made an &#8220;offer&#8221; to Putin, alluding to how the International Criminal Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-international-criminal-court-issues-arrest-warrant-for-vladimir-putin-for-abducting-children-war-crimes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued an arrest warrant</a> for Putin for alleged war crimes during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.</p>

<p>&#8220;I will submit to jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court if you do,&#8221; Graham said. &#8220;Come and make your best case. See you in The Hague!&#8221;</p>
<p>The Russian Foreign Ministry dismissed the idea that Graham&#8217;s words had been edited to be shown out of context as a &#8220;clumsy&#8221; excuse, according to TASS. &#8220;It is already impossible to clean oneself [and one’s reputation] from the stain of such remarks, even if they were uttered separately,&#8221; <a href="https://tass.com/politics/1624499" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the ministry said</a>.</p>
