One “resister” suggested, “Lindsey Graham’s account has been hacked. That is the only possible explanation for this sudden change in stance.”

The Associated Press reported that Jill Biden spent about two hours in Ukraine, traveling by vehicle to the town of Uzhhorod, about a 10-minute drive from a Slovakian border village where she had toured a border processing facility.
Jill Biden’s stop was part of a four-day visit to Eastern Europe to highlight U.S. support for Ukrainian refugees and for allied countries such as Romania and Slovakia that are providing a safe haven for them.
Bono and The Edge, who are part of U2, performed a surprise 40-minute acoustic set in a metro station in Ukraine’s capital, Kiev.
