Washington, March 4 (Reuters) - after a US Senator called on Russians to assassinate their President Vladimir Putin, a spokesman for US President Joe Biden said on Friday that the white house does not advocate regime change in Russia.

“We are not advocating the killing of a foreign leader or regime change. This is not American policy,” White House press secretary Jane pusaki told reporters

Reported that Republican Senator Lindsay Graham from South Carolina had called on the Russians to “kill this guy”. He was referring to Putin.

According to the associated press report in Washington on March 4, U.S. Senator Graham called on the Russians to end the war in Ukraine by assassinating President Vladimir Putin, which was strongly opposed by all sides in Washington.

According to the report, Graham is a hawk. He tweeted on Thursday night that “the only person who can solve this matter” is the Russian.

“The only way to end all this is for someone in Russia to kill this guy,” Graham wrote on twitter “You will make a great contribution to your country - and the world,” he said

The report pointed out that this tweet soon attracted the opposition of some of the most conservative and enlightened members of Congress. Ted Cruz, a Republican senator from Texas, called it “a very bad idea”. Representative Marjorie Taylor green of Georgia said Graham’s tweets were “irresponsible, dangerous and insane”.

On Friday, White House spokesman pasaki dismissed Graham’s idea without thinking. “This is not the position of the U.S. government, and you certainly won’t hear such remarks from any staff of this administration,” she said

On Friday, Graham also proposed a bill with a group of senators from both parties to hold Putin accountable for Russia’s actions in Ukraine, including a war crimes investigation.
