Putin Given A Few Days: US Senate Prepares Tough Sanctions

The bill garnered enough support to prevent Trump from vetoing it.

The US Senate is ready to approve a bill on tough sanctions against Russia if Vladimir Putin does not show a desire for peace within a few days.

This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the statement of the bill's authors Senators Richard Blumenthal (Democrat) and Lindsey Graham (Republican).

They said the bill to impose sanctions on Russia for its barbaric invasion of Ukraine has 81 co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate.

These sanctions would be imposed if Russia refuses to negotiate a lasting peace with Ukraine in good faith or undertakes other efforts, including a military invasion, that undermine Ukraine's sovereignty after peace is made. The law also imposes a 500% tariff on imported goods from countries that buy Russian oil, gas, uranium and other products.

Conditions for approval of the bill

Secretary of State Marco Rubio notes to the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations that Russia has agreed to provide its cease-fire terms in the next few days.

"Their contents will say a lot about whether Russia is serious about peace. We suspect it will be about the same. If it is more like this, Russia can expect strong action from the U.S. Senate," the statement said.

Senators note that the bill isolates Russia by placing it on a trade island, imposing stiff duties on other countries that support these atrocities. A top priority is holding China accountable for supporting Putin's war machine by buying cheap Russian oil from the shadow navy. Without China's economic support, Putin's war machine would grind to a halt, the statement said.

"While we yearn for peace, it is becoming increasingly clear to us and the vast majority of the Senate that Putin is playing games. The United States Senate stands ready to act if these games continue," the senators added.

Senators Graham and Blumenthal introduced the sanctions bill in late April. Graham said he had enough support in the House of Representatives to introduce the sanctions bill there as well. The bill also Donald Trump will not be able to veto the bill, as 67 votes in the Senate are needed to override a veto, and 81 support the bill.
