Russia ‘Not Serious’ About Peace Deal, Lindsey Graham Says
Sen. Lindsey Graham doubts Russia’s current commitment to peace, citing Moscow’s strategy to gain Donbas slowly; U.S. pushes diplomacy and sanctions ahead of Geneva talks.
- On Feb. 13 at the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said he is convinced Russia is not serious about a deal now because it expects to win militarily in the Donbas.
- President Donald Trump urged Zelenskyy to 'get moving' as U.S.-facilitated talks earlier this month yielded only a prisoner swap, with Geneva talks scheduled for February 17.
- Russia has seized roughly 88 percent of the Donbas, and while almost all of Luhansk is occupied, roughly 20 to 30 percent of Donetsk remains under Ukrainian control and is strategically vital.
- Graham said he would begin training for Tomahawk use, signaling stepped-up military preparation until Russia gets serious, while U.S. State Secretary Marco Rubio said Washington does not know if Russia is serious.
- Graham warned that Moscow expects to advance in small steps, while Zelensky hopes next week’s trilateral meetings will be serious and substantive.
