Senior US Senator Lindsey Graham calls for “somebody in Russia” to assassinate President Vladimir Putin after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in a televised interview.

“How does this end? Somebody in Russia has to step up to the plate… and take this guy out,” the senator tells conservative Fox News TV host Sean Hannity.

“You would be doing your country — and the world — a great service,” he adds.

He repeats the call in a series of tweets, saying “the only people who can fix this are the Russian people.”
