Senator Lindsey Graham, after a trip to Ukraine and meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said that he had “never been more optimistic about the ability of the Ukrainians to go on the offense and take back their territory from the Russians.”

Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said a statement on Friday that “it is clear to me that the Russians have been bloodied and weakened. We must provide cluster munitions and additional long range artillery to make the counteroffensive a success.”
