US Senate to vote on Russia sanctions bill in tribute to Graham

By Patricia Zengerle and Timothy Gardner

WASHINGTON, July 28 (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate will begin voting on sweeping Russian energy sanctions legislation on Tuesday as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visits the Capitol, seeing the vote as a tribute to the bill’s author, the late Senator Lindsey Graham, on the day of his funeral.

Graham was among Kyiv’s most influential and outspoken allies in Congress in its four-year-old war against Russia, and the bill aims to increase economic pressure on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
