Lindsey Graham says Trump's goal is to prevent third invasion of Ukraine, wants Zelensky 'to be part of the process'

One of President Trump’s core objectives heading into negotiations with Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin will be to prevent a third invasion of Ukraine, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham.

“I am here to tell you that President Trump will end this war in a way to prevent a third invasion and not to entice China to take Taiwan,” Graham (R-SC), who went golfing with Trump on Saturday, told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“We’re not out to humiliate Putin, we’re out to get a deal to make sure there’s no third invasion.”

Graham didn’t shed light on how Trump might go about trying to prevent a future invasion of Ukraine, but called for Kyiv to get security guarantees from European countries. Top Russian officials have previously been critical of the idea of Europe providing Ukraine with security.
