Reuters: U.S. Senators Urged Congress To Pass "crushing" Sanctions Against Russia

Following talks in Turkey.

U.S. senators have renewed their call for Congress to pass "crushing" sanctions against Russia after Russian-Ukrainian ceasefire talks showed little progress.

Reuters writes Reuters.

"Putin will continue to shy away from ceasefire efforts until his economy is hit hard," Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said in a statement calling for a vote on the sanctions bill.

As previously reported, Blumenthal and Republican Lindsey Graham introduced a bill in early April that would make it harder for Russia to finance the war. Specifically, the document includes provisions such as a 500 percent tariff on U.S. imports from countries that buy Russian energy.

The bill now has the support of at least 73 senators out of 100, but it is unclear when the document might come up for a vote.

Graham, who was in Turkey this week for a meeting of NATO foreign ministers, called for the bill's passage after criticizing Putin's decision not to participate in talks with Ukraine. As the Republican senator stated, "Enough of Russia's games."
