Lindsey Graham stood up to the world’s bullies and genocidal regimes. He was no warmonger. He was deeply concerned about the well-being of the human race.
Lindsey was a genuine American patriot who loved our country, was loyal to our people, and was committed to our allies — Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, NATO, and more.
Lindsey was a true friend and leader. We spent a lot of time on the phone and texting the last few years as he reached out to me often. It was an honor to endorse his reelection when others would not.
He adored President Trump and was so proud of their friendship. And he gave the President outstanding advice through thick and thin. He wanted President Trump and our country to succeed.
I’m going to miss him a great deal. I already do. He leaves a huge void. I’ll have more to say tomorrow on radio and Hannity.
Thank you, Lindsey, for a life well lived. May God bless his family.
Lindsey Graham died.
His legacy is marked by support for Ukraine alongside an inability to stand up to Trump during his 2nd term.
He worked hard to help Ukraine but also enabled Trump, failed to sanction Russia, and demanded Zelensky’s resignation after the Oval Office ambush
Jill and I are shocked by the sudden passing of Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey and I served together in Congress for over a decade, and worked closely on many issues throughout the years. We traveled the world together as members of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. We disagreed often, and sometimes loudly.
Lindsey and I did agree on the profound importance of public service. Like me, he loved the Senate as an institution, even with all its flaws and complexities.
To his family, his staff, his constituents in South Carolina, and everyone who loved him: Jill and I are keeping you in our prayers.
Today, Ukraine has lost a true friend, and America has lost one of its finest sons.
Senator Lindsey Graham was one of those American politicians who was not afraid to call a spade a spade. He consistently supported Ukraine in its darkest hours, advocated for military assistance, called for tough sanctions against Russia, and reminded the world that freedom comes at a price. His support was not limited to statements. He visited Ukraine on numerous occasions and met with our military personnel and the country’s leadership. He saw the consequences of Russian aggression firsthand and did everything he could to ensure that Ukraine’s voice was heard in Washington. Just one day before his death, he was once again in Kyiv, reaffirming his unwavering stance in support of Ukraine.
The memory of friends is measured not by words, but by deeds. Lindsey Graham was a friend of Ukraine precisely because of his deeds.
I had the honor of knowing him.
My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones, the American people, and everyone who knew and worked with Lindsey Graham.
Blessed be his memory.
One of Lindsey Graham’s last messages.
He stated yesterday that he had agreed with the White House to move forward with his and Senator Blumenthal’s bipartisan sanctions bill against Russia.
Lindsey said it was time to hit Russia hard.
I stand in the legacy of Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham.
They showed that leadership means standing with allies, confronting aggression, and defending freedom when it matters most.
Their unwavering support for Ukraine, NATO, and the transatlantic alliance continues to inspire me. We must remain united in defending the Free World, supporting our democratic partners, and resisting aggression from authoritarian regimes.
Freedom is never free. It must be defended by every generation.

My condolences to Senator Lindsey Graham’s family and loved ones.
Senator Graham fought until the very end to support Ukraine’s fight for freedom and raise the cost of Russia’s war of aggression.
He worked tirelessly to strengthen sanctions, in close coordination with the EU.
A determined and fearless leader. He will be deeply missed.
US-Senator Lindsey Graham war ein wahrer Freund und ein Partner Deutschlands im transatlantischen Bündnis. Mehr als vier Jahrzehnte haben wir Seite an Seite gestanden.
Ich werde ihn vermissen.
Deeply saddened by the news of the passing of United States Senator Lindsey Graham. Lindsey was a true defender of freedom and the values that make our world safer.
He visited Ukraine ten times during the years of Russia's full-scale invasion and was here with our people when it was most needed. We remained in constant dialogue, and I will miss our conversations. We met twice in just the past week.
A staunch advocate for bipartisan and bicameral support for Ukraine, in recent weeks, he had been working on important initiatives that could help bring peace closer, including stronger sanctions against Russia. We will always be especially grateful for the recognition of our people and words of admiration for the courage of Ukraine’s defenders.
America and the world have lost a determined leader.
Our condolences go out to Lindsey’s family, loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.
🇩🇪🇺🇦 Diese Woche in Kyjiw unterzeichnet: Quantum Systems liefert der ukrainischen Nationalgarde unbemannte Lkw und Bodenroboter für Tests direkt an der Front.
Der Millionenvertrag umfasst 10 autonome Daimler-Zetros-Lkw mit dem MOSAIC-Autonomie-Kit sowie 10 MANDRILL-Bodenplattformen. Erste Fahrzeuge kommen noch dieses Jahr.
Der MANDRILL trägt über 750 kg Nutzlast und schafft mehr als 200 km mit einer Batterieladung – einsetzbar für Logistik, Aufklärung und Verwundetentransport.
Die Zetros-Wahl ist kein Zufall: Hunderte davon fahren bereits bei den ukrainischen Streitkräften. Daimler Truck ist offizieller Partner des Programms.
Der strategische Bogen: Die gefährlichsten Kilometer im Krieg sind die letzten zur Front – Nachschubfahrer sterben dort täglich durch Drohnen. Autonome Logistik nimmt Menschen aus dieser Todeszone. Und wieder gilt: Was in der Ukraine unter realen Bedingungen besteht, definiert den europäischen Standard – wie schon bei den 2.000 TerMIT-Robotern, die Quantum mit ukrainischer Technologie in Europa baut.

Der Staat weiß jetzt ganz genau, wie teuer seine Bürokratie ist. Nur ändern will er vorerst wenig.
20 Milliarden Euro kostet die Bürokratie die heimischen Unternehmen – Jahr für Jahr. Rund sieben Prozent ihrer Personalkapazitäten gehen für administrative Pflichten drauf. Würde Österreich seine Regulierungslast bis 2032 auf das Niveau der Niederlande senken, läge das BIP danach um 20 Milliarden Euro pro Jahr höher. Das zeigt der erste Entbürokratisierungsbericht basierend auf einer Studie von EcoAustria.
„Vom Bauchgefühl zur Evidenz", heißt es dazu. Schön. Nur: In den acht Handlungsempfehlungen des Berichts steht acht Mal „sollte". Kein „wird", kein „bis wann", kein „wer". Die Zahlen liegen auf dem Tisch. Was fehlt, sind die Konsequenzen.
Abgesehen von dem Populismus, der bei der KPÖ immer intensiver wird in letzter Zeit, ist unsere Neutralität wehrhaft definiert und verlangt tendenziell sogar einen höheren Rüstungsetat als wenn wir in einem Bündnis wären.
Warum ist Putins Propagandazentrale mitten in Berlin immer noch offen?
Weil Merz schwach ist.
Eine Schließung des sanktionierten Russischen Hauses ist politisch & juristisch machbar – man muss nur das 2013er-Abkommen kündigen und Konsequenzen tragen wollen.
Zeit für Konsequenz statt Kuschelkurs!
russian occupation is not peace. It is state terror.
russia has sentenced 20-year-old Viktoriia Maksymenko from occupied Mariupol to 13 years in a penal colony on charges of "high treason."
She was just a child when russia occupied her city. In November 2025, russian forces detained her. In the video released by russian authorities, she appears terrified, clearly repeating words under pressure.
She was accused of allegedly passing information about russian National Guard positions in occupied Mariupol to Ukraine's military intelligence.
This is yet another sham trial targeting civilians trapped under occupation.
To the occupiers, loyalty to Ukraine is a crime. To the rest of the world, it should be clear: russian occupation is built on fear, repression, and political persecution.
