US EditionUS Senator Graham: Senate to Work on Russia Sanctions Bill Next Week
- The U.S. Senate is set to begin moving next week on a bipartisan bill imposing new sanctions on Russia related to its three-year war in Ukraine.
- The bill, led by Republican Lindsey Graham and Democrat Richard Blumenthal, responds to Russia's February 2022 invasion and aims to pressure Vladimir Putin into peace talks.
- The proposed legislation seeks to impose a 500% tariff on imports from nations that purchase energy resources and minerals originating from Russia, aiming to disrupt funding for Moscow's war efforts and hold China responsible for supporting these purchases.
- Graham characterized the sanctions as "bone-breaking" and noted that the bill, supported by 82 cosponsors, is likely to begin progressing through the Senate soon. Zelenskiy expressed his approval of the proposed measures.
- The bill’s passage would isolate Russia economically but poses risks for U.S.-EU relations, and Graham said the sanctions aim to help Trump bring Putin to a genuine peace agreement.
