Senator Graham has issued a threat against China and other partners of the Russian Federation

American Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (listed in the Russian Federation as a terrorist and extremist), on May 22, voiced threats against China and other partners of the Russian Federation, speaking about the alleged unwillingness of Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate a settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.

"The overwhelming majority in the U.S. Senate believes that Putin is avoiding real negotiations because he believes that over time, the United States and our allies will break down. It would be a serious miscalculation that could harm China and other countries," he said on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

Graham also said that he had a "very good" meeting with Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng. They discussed trade issues and touched upon the Ukrainian conflict.
