US Senate passes sweeping Russia sanctions bill

The US Senate passed a bipartisan Russia sanctions package on Friday, 86-11, penalizing countries that buy Russian oil and gas. The bill, championed by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, now heads to the House, with President Trump's support. It targets Putin, officials, and financial institutions, and expands restrictions on reflagged tankers. The move is Congress's strongest action in Trump's second term to support Ukraine as the war enters its fifth year.
