The U.S. should designate Russia a state sponsor of terrorism and begin training Ukrainian pilots on the use of F-16 fighter jets, Sen. Lindsey Graham told ABC's 'This Week' in an interview.
Speaking as part of the large Congressional delegation attending the Munich Security Conference, Graham said there was "virtually unanimous belief" that the U.S. should be training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets and added that he believed a decision to begin doing so would be "imminent" upon return to Washington, D.C.Saturday that the Biden administration had formally determined that Russia has committed crimes against humanity during the war in Ukraine.
"How can she say that — and she is correct — and not give the victim of the crime against humanity the defensive weapons they need to stop the crime?" Graham asked.Blinken told host Martha Raddatz that the U.S. was concerned that China could be considering "providing lethal support to Russia in the war against Ukraine."
"We need to do two things quickly," Graham said. "Make Russia a state sponsor of terrorism under U.S. law, which would make it harder for China to give weapons to Russia, and we need to start training Ukrainian pilots on the F-16 now." Graham added that under the designation, if China were to provide weapons to Russia, they would be subject to sanctions.
