Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) laid out a scenario where Ukraine should receive “automatic admission” into NATO, days after other U.S. officials including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that membership for the country into the 32-member alliance is unrealistic.

Graham, a staunch supporter of Ukraine, made the comments in an interview at the Munich Security Conference, where top U.S. and European officials have gathered to discuss the war in Ukraine, among other issues.
