🇺🇸 🇷🇺 ⚡️ — The United States may pass a bill tightening #sanctions against #Russia as early as September — Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal. The document, which Blumenthal co-authored with the late Republican Graham, is intended to cut off Russia's revenue from oil and gas exports, which "fund its war machine." At the same time, Republican Senator Lankford stated that he had not given #Zelensky any guarantees of the bill's swift passage.
