Russian Embassy in Washington condemned Senior US senator Lindsey Graham's call for assassinating Russian President Vladimir Putin after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
Asked for a comment on Graham's calls for Putin’s assassination, Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov said: “I find the statement of the American politician to be unacceptable and outrageous. The degree of Russophobia and hatred in the United States towards Russia is off the scale.”
In addition, Graham stressed that it is impossible to believe that a senator of a country that promotes its moral values as a "guiding star" for all mankind could afford to call for terrorism as a way to achieve Washington's goals in the international arena.
“It becomes scary for the US fate, which is run by such irresponsible and unprofessional politicians,” he added. “We demand official explanations and a strong condemnation of the criminal statements of this American.”
In a televised interview with Fox News TV host Sean Hannity Thursday evening, Graham said: "Somebody in Russia has to step up to the plate... and take this guy out.
The senator repeated the call later in a series of tweets, saying "the only people who can fix this are the Russian people."
"Is there a Brutus in Russia?" asked the senator, referring to one of Roman ruler Julius Caesar's assassins.
