Crushing Sanctions Imposed on Russia as Senate Passes New Bill

The US Senate is poised to introduce a bill implementing crushing sanctions against Russia, following Senator Lindsey Graham's confirmation of the plan on June 5, 2025. The move is in response to President Vladimir Putin's refusal to engage in negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Satellite imagery released on June 5th shows significant damage to two Russian air bases, lending visual weight to the claims of Ukrainian military success. A Ukrainian official stated, "The strikes were precise and effective, targeting key military assets." The video also highlights a phone conversation between Putin and Pope Francis, suggesting ongoing diplomatic efforts alongside the escalating sanctions.
