The US Senate has backed the ‘Graham Bill’ on sanctions against russia

According to "European Pravda", this information emerged from live broadcasts of the session.

Following the debate on the ‘Graham bill’ and the consideration of a number of amendments, the bill was put to a final vote, during which senators voted 86 in favour and 11 against.

Prior to this, senators had rejected a threatening amendment tabled by Rand Paul, which could have “buried” the bill, with 64 votes against and 32 in favour.

Kateryna Lisunova, a former correspondent for Voice of America who is now a journalist with the Razom for Ukraine initiative, writes that further consideration of the bill in the House of Representatives and its adoption are unlikely to take place before September – due to the parliamentary recess until 31 August.
