'Kick his ass': US Senator praises 'bold, beautiful' Ukraine incursion into Putin's Russia

US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has praised Ukraine's cross-border operation into Russia's Kursk region as “brilliant“ and “bold“. Senator Graham made the comments during a visit to Kyiv alongside Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal. Graham urged the Biden administration to provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs “to win a war they can't afford to lose“. “What I think about Kursk? Bold, brilliant, beautiful – keep it up! (Russian President Vladimir) Putin started this, kick his ass,“ Graham told reporters in Kyiv on Monday. “Bottom line is to the administration ... let these people fight – give them weapons they need to win a war they can't afford to lose.“
