US EditionVon der Leyen backs 'bone-crushing' US Senate bill to sanction Russia
- The US Senate is preparing to work on a bill imposing strict sanctions on Russia for its actions in Ukraine, as stated by Republican Senate leader John Thune on June 2.
- The legislation includes 500 percent tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil, gas, and uranium, targeting nations like China and India that account for 70 percent of Russia's energy sales.
- The bill is sponsored by Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal, gaining at least 82 co-sponsors, indicating rare bipartisanship in Congress.
- If passed, the sanctions could pressure Russia to negotiate, with Graham asserting the sanctions would be 'bone-breaking' if Russia continues its aggression.
