  "summary": "The US House of Representatives has passed a bill aimed at increasing economic pressure on Russia. The legislation, known as the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, was approved by a vote of 262-159. It targets Russia's energy and defence industries, as well as its \"shadow fleet\" of tankers that evade existing sanctions.\n\nThe bill gives US President Donald Trump the authority to impose steep tariffs on countries buying Russian oil and gas. According to The Indian Express, this could include a 100% tariff on nations such as India and China that purchase Russian oil and natural gas. The legislation also extends sanctions on Iran.\n\nThe bill's passage was welcomed by Ukrainian Parliament Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk, who said it was a \"concrete step toward increasing pressure on Russia, its war machine, and those helping to finance its aggression against Ukraine.\" The bill now heads to President Trump to be signed into law.",
