Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026, legislation to strengthen sanctions on Russia and hold major purchasers of Russian oil and gas accountable for supporting Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine. The vote was 86-11. Kelly and more than 60 of his Senate colleagues introduced the legislation last month. “The fastest way to end Russia’s illegal war is to cut off the money Putin is using to fuel it. Today, Republicans and Democrats came together to pass tougher sanctions that put pressure on Putin and those helping finance his war. This is a critical step securing a lasting peace that protects Ukraine’s sovereignty and strengthens U.S. national security. “I’ve been to Ukraine four times since this war began and have seen firsthand what’s at stake. This vote demonstrated that the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine and hold Russia accountable. I urge the House of Representatives to pass this bipartisan legislation quickly so we can keep up the pressure and bring this war to an end.” Background:	1	2026-08-08T05:41:38Z	2026-08-08T05:43:24Z
