“Until we have a ceasefire, I would give Ukraine what they need in terms of intelligence and weapons to defend themselves,” Graham said.

Summary

Sen. Lindsey Graham warned that halting U.S. military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine could be “worse than Afghanistan.”

He urged continued support until a ceasefire is reached and announced plans for sanctions on Russia’s banking and energy sectors.

The Trump administration paused aid after a heated Oval Office meeting where Trump and JD Vance clashed with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Russia escalated attacks following the fallout.

U.S. and Ukrainian officials will meet in Saudi Arabia to discuss a minerals deal and ceasefire, while Trump seeks further concessions from Ukraine.

    I genuinely don’t know what happens in this man’s head.

    He will loudly and sometimes correctly call out Trump. He will say something mostly accurate about how if Trump does XYZ, it will be a bad thing. And often that is right, I might not agree on how he came to the conclusion of why but it is often correct.

    And then he just… Votes yes on it? Like is he two faced for the press and congressional floor, or is he genuinely afraid of ever voting no to something Republicans want?
