US Senator Lindsey Graham included by Rosfinmonitoring in the list of extremists. In May last year, the chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, ordered the initiation of a criminal case after Lindsey Graham’s statements about the deaths of Russians.
This happened after the office of Vladimir Zelensky published a video of the congressman in which he says: “The Russians are dying... We have never spent money so well” In March last year,. Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said that the diplomatic mission demanded that the United States officially condemn the statement of Senator Graham.
