The United States Senate on Friday approved a bill introducing new sanctions against Russia. The legislation was drafted with the involvement of Senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away recently.
The bill will now proceed further through the US Congress's legislative process. The sanctions initiative is part of broader efforts by American lawmakers to increase pressure on Russia over its actions on the international stage.
Senator Graham's role in preparing the bill is being particularly noted, as he was one of the driving forces behind the sanctions push but did not live to see its approval by the Senate.
