Senate passes long-stalled Russia sanctions bill championed by Lindsey Graham

If enacted in its current form, the bill could significantly impact countries that continue importing Russian energy.

It also features additional sanctions on Russian leaders, family members and oligarchs.

The measure, renamed the Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia Act in honor of the late senator’s work on the issue, was approved by an 86-11 vote.

The bill passed the Senate 86-11, passing a threshold of 60 votes needed to pass.
