It is noted that the senator called on Ukrainian parliamentarians to "take swift legislative action" at a time when American lawmakers are still unable to pass a law on $60 billion in aid to Ukraine.

Graham also urged Ukrainians not to base their decisions to join the army on the support of the United States.

No matter what we do, you have to fight. No matter what we do, you are fighting for yourselves,

- He said.

The politician also expressed the opinion that the conscription age in Ukraine should be lower than 27 years old. He expressed hope that those who are eligible to serve in the Ukrainian army will join it.

You are fighting for your life, so you should serve - not at 25 or 27. We need more people in the ranks,

- Graham added.
