And it won't just be gingerbread.

Senator Lindsey Graham said the Senate may pass sanctions legislation against Russia.

He said this on social media X.

"It's clear to me that given Putin's behavior and his refusal to be reasonable, the Senate will soon give President Trump more tools in his arsenal, and it won't just be carrots," he said.

Graham said he always thought Trump was "the only person - who can end the war between Russia and Ukraine fairly and justly."

"I appreciate the fact that President Trump has gone the extra mile by engaging with Putin in a positive way, trying to get him to the negotiating table. I have always supported this approach, but peace requires partners who want it," the senator added.

Graham-Blumenthal bill on sanctions against Russia

April 1, it became known that a bill on new sanctions measures against Russia was introduced in the US Senate. According to the document, may be introduced 500% tariff on imports of goods from countries that continue to buy Russian oil and other raw materials.

The proposed measures are aimed at increasing economic pressure on Russia and creating additional obstacles for countries that continue to trade in Russian energy resources.

The initiative is introduced by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal.

The bill is known to have the support of 82 senators.
