US Senate Approves New Sanctions Package Against Russia

The US Senate has approved a bill that imposes new sanctions and secondary tariffs on Russia. This decision was made during the Senate's last session before the summer break. 86 senators voted in favor of the bill, while 11 voted against it. The approved bill will now be sent to the House of Representatives for further consideration. However, the House of Representatives will not take up the bill until September, when it resumes work after the summer break. The bill was drafted with the participation of senators, including Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.
