MOSCOW. March 4 (Interfax) - The statement by U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham on Putin saying that someone has to "take this guy out" was him having a Russophobic fit, the Kremlin said.

"Unfortunately, indeed, it is very hard to choose words in such an extremely tense atmosphere, let alone in countries such as the United States, which is having such a massive hysterical Russophobic fit," Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said, when asked to comment on these words.

"Of course, these days not everyone can keep a sound mind," Peskov said.

"Unfortunately, many people go mad," Peskov said.
