Russian opposition figure Igor Eidman claimed that Lindsey Graham may have been killed by Kremlin intelligence services
According to sociologist Eidman, two factors point in this direction — the timing and the location.
Moscow had a motive: Graham actively advocated for increased pressure on Russia and support for Ukraine. He had also recently said that Trump supported his bill introducing new “hellish sanctions” against the Russian Federation.
He was considered the most pro-Ukrainian politician in the U.S. president’s circle. He promoted military assistance for Kyiv, including Tomahawk missiles, and lobbied for security guarantees for Ukraine.
Eidman claims that the Kremlin may have viewed the senator as one of the people influencing Trump’s shift in position and his departure from his previous approach toward Russia.
As a second argument, he pointed to Graham’s trip to Ukraine. According to the sociologist’s theory, a possible poisoning could have occurred during the visit, for example, through the use of a slow-acting substance.
He suggested that Russian intelligence services could have used remaining agent networks in Ukraine to carry out such an operation.
The death of Senator Graham was linked to Russia in the U.S
American right-wing activist Laura Loomer called for an investigation into the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, suggesting that Russia or Iran could be involved.
She linked the senator’s death to the fact that shortly before it, Graham had advocated in Ukraine for tougher sanctions against Russia.
Loomer also recalled that Russian ideologue Alexander Dugin had previously called for his elimination.
“Did Russia just kill an American senator?” Loomer wrote.
It was previously reported that Graham’s cause of death was cardiac arrest.
