By March 2023, Graham’s rhetoric intensified when he suggested that the U.S. should actively engage Russian fighter jets that threatened American drones, recalling a Cold War stance: “What would Ronald Reagan do? He would start shooting down Russian planes threatening our assets,” he declared during a Fox News segment.
In May 2023, during a visit to Ukraine, Graham reassured President Zelensky that despite varied opinions within the GOP, key Senate figures would ensure the continuous flow of arms to Ukraine. “The Russians are dying. It’s the best money ever spent,” he stated in a broadcasted conversation with Zelensky.
By July 2023, Graham staunchly supported the controversial U.S. decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine, despite widespread denunciation of this act as a potential war crime. “We must provide the Ukrainians the tools they need to evict the Russian invaders,” he affirmed.
In a revealing moment on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Graham articulated the strategic economic stakes involved in supporting Ukraine: “What did Trump do to get the weapon slowing? He created a loan system. They’re sitting on $10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe. I don’t want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China,” he explained.
Graham argued that supporting Ukraine now could transform the nation into an invaluable business ally for the West. This support not only prevents critical resources from falling into Russian and Chinese hands but also positions Ukraine as a pivotal economic player in Europe.
Furthering his aggressive stance, Graham suggested that the U.S. should seize Russian assets worldwide and redirect them to aid Ukraine. “There’s $300 billion sitting in Europe from Russian sovereign wealth assets that we should seize and give to Ukraine. We have Russian money in America we should seize. We should make Russia a state sponsor of terrorism under US law,” he proposed. This bold strategy, he recounted, was met with enthusiastic approval from President Zelensky.
