Lindsey Graham draws tributes for his support of Ukraine, trans-Atlantic ties and Israel

Leaders from NATO allies, Ukraine, and Israel praised U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for his support of trans-Atlantic relations, Ukraine, and Israel. Graham, who visited Ukraine 10 times since Russia's 2022 invasion, secured sanctions against Russia with the Trump administration. Tributes highlighted his advocacy for NATO's eastern flank, democratic values, and the U.S.-Israel alliance, while Iran's state media reacted hostilely to his death.
