Senate passes bipartisan Russia sanctions bill in 86-11 vote
The legislation targets senior Russian government officials, including Putin, to address the invasion of Ukraine. This Russia sanctions bill, which had previously stalled, was named in honor of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Graham originally championed the measure. The broad bipartisan support in the Senate reflects what supporters called a unified stance against Putin's territorial ambitions. Supporters claimed the bill sends a clear message to Moscow that Putin is fighting a losing battle. The legislation aims to penalize Russian leadership for the ongoing war.
