The U.S. Senate on Wednesday advanced the bipartisan sanctions bill targeting Russia that was authored by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was present in the chamber and observed the vote. The bill, which Graham championed before his death, aims to impose sweeping sanctions on Moscow to cripple its economy and pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine. President Trump had previously called on Congress to pass the bill as a tribute to Graham. The advancement marks a significant step in the legislative process, though further votes are required before the bill becomes law.
