Stefanchuk: Ukraine counts on US House backing bill to step up sanctions pressure on Russia
Verkhovna Rada Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk thanked the U.S.
Ukrainian Parliament Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk expressed gratitude to the U.S. Senate for supporting a bill aimed at increasing sanctions against Russia. He hopes the U.S. House of Representatives will follow suit and expedite the bill's implementation. Stefanchuk acknowledged the Senate's decision as a tribute to Senator Lindsey Graham, the bill's author, who dedicated his efforts to its passage.
The Ukrainian leader emphasized that robust and persistent sanctions are crucial in pressuring Russia to cease the conflict and facilitate a fair peace. On August 7, the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly endorsed a comprehensive sanctions bill targeting Russia, which was modeled on initiatives proposed by the late Senator Graham.
