"I appreciate the hard work of President Trump and his team as they try to bring a dignified and just end to this bloody slaughter in Ukraine. As a reminder, any security agreement to end the bloodshed in Ukraine must be reviewed by Congress," he wrote .

Graham emphasized that the U.S. goal is to strike a deal that will stop future potential invasions, "something that Trump's predecessors, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, failed to do." .

"Also, when it comes to the exchange of territories, I am realistic about the situation: no Russian soldiers will be expelled from Ukraine in the near future. However, we do not want to end this conflict in a way that rewards aggression," the senator said, adding that "the world is watching.".

He attached to this post the news that Trump believes that the peace deal is being delayed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, not Russian dictator Vladimir Putin .
