The US Senate has overwhelmingly passed a new sanctions bill targeting Russia and Iran, named in honor of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. This long-awaited legislation marks a significant win for supporters of Ukraine, as it seeks to impose stringent penalties on Russian entities and individuals in response to ongoing aggression. Following a yearlong effort to align bipartisan support, the bill is now set to proceed to the US House of Representatives for further consideration. The passage reflects a shared commitment among lawmakers to respond decisively to international violations of sovereignty, though it has faced some opposition regarding potential tariffs and their implications. Lawmakers celebrated this victory as a crucial step in exerting pressure on Moscow and securing support for Ukraine.
