The American senator announced the deadline for the next counteroffensive of the Armed Forces
US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said that Washington did not provide weapons to Ukraine at an early stage to deter Russian aggression.

The senator believes that Ukraine will regain its military momentum this summer. To this end, Ukraine must mobilise the support of its Western allies.
Either we're going to help Ukraine, or we're not. It’s now time to give them the F-16s and let them fly the planes and long-range artillery to hit targets inside of Russia.
