Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator for South Carolina, said the only way Russia's invasion of Ukraine ends is "for somebody in Russia to take this guy out".
"Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military," he said on Twitter, referencing the army officer who unsuccessfully attempted to kill Adolf Hitler.
The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country - and the world - a great service."
The comments prompted a furious response from the Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, who said the remarks are "unacceptable and outrageous", demanding an explanation.
