Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has responded to criticism from US Senator Lindsey Graham, who deemed Zelenskyy’s behavior during a recent Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance as “disrespectful”.
Graham questioned whether the US could do business with Zelenskyy again and even suggested that the Ukrainian president should step down.
In a bold response, Zelenskyy told Sky News that he could offer Graham Ukrainian citizenship, saying: “I can give [Lindsay Graham] citizenship of Ukraine and he will become a citizen of our country… The president of Ukraine will have to be chosen not in Lindsay Graham’s home but in Ukraine.
” This statement asserts Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence in choosing its leaders.
