Summary
US Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and close ally of President Donald Trump, has died at age 71 following a brief illness, his office announced Sunday. Graham, who was elected to the Senate four times, was known for his blunt style and strong support for Ukraine.
His death removes a key conduit for foreign leaders seeking to influence the Trump administration, particularly Ukraine, which relied on Graham as an effective advocate. According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Graham was someone who would tell you things you might not like directly. Allies now face a challenge in finding other advocates.
The sudden loss also eliminates a potential check on Trump's impulses, as Graham had served as an interlocutor for foreign leaders. Tributes have poured in, with some calling him a great patriot, while in Kyiv his death is seen as a significant loss of a rare Republican who genuinely supported Ukraine.
The same facts are framed differently: Left — “invasion” ; Other — “invasion”, “militant”.
