It is long overdue for these enablers to pay a price. The Sanctioning Russia Act will pressure the world’s largest purchasers of Russian energy to reduce their dependence on Moscow. I urge the House to take it up swiftly and send it to the president’s desk.” Fischer recently spoke on the Senate floor in support of the bill to tout its mandatory sanctions on Russia’s political leadership, financial institutions, and energy sector — which will put economic pressure on Moscow to end Vladimir Putin’s illegal war against Ukraine. Background Fischer was an original cosponsor when the late Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) first introduced this legislation with Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) in 2025. She was also an original cosponsor of the updated version when Senator Darline Graham (R-SC) introduced it on July 16, 2026. ###	1	2026-08-08T05:41:38Z	2026-08-08T05:43:24Z
