US Senator Lindsey Graham warned that cutting US military aid and intelligence to Ukraine could have worse consequences than Afghanistan. He stressed Ukraine needs continued support and vowed to introduce sanctions on Russia if peace talks fail, amid a pause in US aid.
US Senator Lindsey Graham has issued a stark warning, claiming that if the United States cuts military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, the consequences could be even more devastating than the aftermath of the Afghanistan withdrawal. Speaking on Fox News, Graham argued that as long as the fighting continues, Ukraine needs continued support to defend itself.
"Until we have a ceasefire, I would give Ukraine what they need in terms of intelligence and weapons to defend themselves," he said. Graham also vowed to introduce new sanctions targeting Russia’s banking and energy sectors if they refuse to engage in peace talks.
His comments come after the Trump administration confirmed it had paused military aid to Ukraine. While European countries have stepped in to help, analysts point out that Europe lacks the intelligence capabilities of the US, which could severely limit Ukraine’s ability to defend itself effectively.
Graham stressed that a lack of US support would leave Ukraine vulnerable, making it even more crucial for the US to continue its assistance. The ongoing debate about US involvement remains at the forefront of the broader international efforts to end the war.
