Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act: “Russia’s financial backers must pay a price for enabling Putin’s barbaric atrocities against sovereign Ukraine. I was proud to support this bill in the Senate and encouraged to see it pass the House. Now that it will soon become law, we can finally inflict decisive economic pressure on Putin’s lifeline and work toward lasting peace.” 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. On July 22, 2026, Fischer 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. After championing the bill, Fischer applauded its passage by the full Senate in August. ###	1	2026-09-17T09:52:05Z	2026-09-17T09:53:00Z
