Washington ¨C The U.S. Senate easily passed sweeping Russia sanctions legislation on Friday, advancing a long-delayed measure backed by late Sen. Lindsey Graham and setting the stage for consideration by the House of Representatives within weeks.
Graham, a South Carolina Republican who died last month, was among Kyiv¡¯s most outspoken allies in Congress in its four-year-long war with Russia, and the bill aims ?to increase economic pressure on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
It also includes expanded sanctions on Iran sought by President Donald Trump as ?lawmakers ?pushed for a vote on the measure well over a year since it was introduced in 2025.
