US Senate passes Russia sanctions bill championed by late Lindsey Graham

The US Senate overwhelmingly approved a sweeping Russia sanctions package on Friday, 86-11, honoring the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, who championed the bill. The legislation targets countries buying Russian oil and gas, imposing tariffs up to 500% on Russian exports and visa bans on Putin and military leaders. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy watched from the gallery during procedural votes. The bill now heads to the House, with President Trump's support.
