Lindsey Graham’s Ukraine comments - Twitter-EU tensions - Uganda anti-gay bill

Source: Daily Beast via Yahoo! News

1. Summary
   Russia has placed Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on a wanted list for recent comments he made about aid to Ukraine. The comments came from a meeting between Graham and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv last Friday. A video of the meeting released by Zelensky's office showed Graham saying "the Russians are dying," followed by him saying US aid to Ukraine is "the best money we’ve ever spent."
   
   A full video was later released, showing the comments were made in the reverse order. Graham first touted US military aid, saying Ukrainians remind him of "our better selves in America" fighting for freedom. Zelenskyy responded that Americans won freedom and Ukrainians will too. Graham responded by saying "and the Russians are dying."
   
   Graham welcomed Russia's response, saying "I will submit to [the] International Criminal Court if you do." Russia's Foreign Ministry called the argument that his remarks were separate a "clumsy" excuse, and compared US support for Kyiv to American companies' support for Nazi Germany.
