President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the passage of Lindsey Graham's bill on sanctions against Russia and Iran helps increase pressure on the aggressor in order to end this insane Russian war, reports UNN.
We are very grateful to the US Senate and to everyone who supports Ukraine. The passage of Lindsey Graham's bill on sanctions against Russia and Iran definitely helps increase pressure on the aggressor in order to end this insane Russian war against our independence and our people
The President stressed that Ukraine appreciates all the support that the United States provides to Ukraine – from both parties and the entire American people.
And now, when Putin is making his final bet on prolonging the war through ballistic missiles, and when we are searching so hard for missiles for the "Patriots" for our defense, all signals supporting the protection of life and the swiftest possible end to the war are very important. Real, strong American pressure and sanctions against Russia are what will help the most. Diplomacy is getting closer with every step of pressure on the aggressor
We remind you
The US Senate supported a bill on sanctions against Russia and Iran, initiated by the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Consideration in the House of Representatives is scheduled for next month, but there are concerns regarding Trump's tariff powers.
According to Reuters, the bill on sanctions against Russia, which was supported by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, will face a difficult test in Congress, as Democrats and some Republicans express concern about the new trade powers that the bill would grant to US President Donald Trump.
