S. 5025: Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026
The Senator Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026, the Senate's marquee Russia sanctions vehicle. Introduced July 16, 2026 by Sens. Darline Graham (R-SC), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) with 61 cosponsors on day one, it carries forward the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's amended text, negotiated with the White House days before his passing. The bill imposes primary and secondary sanctions on Russian officials, oligarchs, banks, and the shadow fleet, and directs the President to impose tariffs of up to 100% on the five largest importers of Russian crude oil and gas....
Why it matters
Sen. Lindsey Graham spent the last months of his life on this bill. He met with President Zelenskyy, negotiated an agreement with the White House on the amended text, and locked in bipartisan support before his passing in July 2026. S. 5025 launched with 61 cosponsors, and with the House-passed sanctions provisions moving in parallel, passing it would deliver the strongest economic blow to Russia's war machine of this Congress and honor the man who built it. Ask your senators to vote YES and to press Senate leadership to schedule the floor vote.
