The US Senate has approved a package of sanctions against Russia. This move is the result of efforts by the late Senator Lindsey Graham to support Ukraine in its ongoing conflict. The legislation aims to penalize countries that continue to purchase Russian exports, such as oil and gas, in an attempt to reduce revenue for the Russian government.

The Senate voted 86-11 in favor of the package. Further details on the sanctions package and its implications are available from KXXV News, including the context of the vote and its potential impact on the ongoing war.
