On June 25 2024, the United States Senate approved a sweeping sanctions bill targeting Russia, a measure negotiated by the late Senator Lindsey Graham. The legislation is now slated for consideration by the House of Representatives.
According to Reuters, the Senate vote marked a significant step in the U.S. effort to pressure Russia over its actions in Ukraine. The New York Times notes that the bill also extends sanctions to Iran, broadening the scope of the sanctions regime. The Washington Post reports that the passage is seen as a long‑awaited victory for supporters of Ukraine.
Sanctions are a key tool used by Washington to counter Russian aggression in Ukraine, and the bill’s passage follows years of stalled negotiations in Congress.
