US Senate Prepares Harsh Sanctions Against Russia Over Ukraine Conflict

The US Senate is poised to impose severe sanctions on Russia if President Vladimir Putin fails to demonstrate a commitment to peace within the next few days. This follows a statement released by Senators Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham. "If Vladimir Putin does not show a willingness to peace within a few days," the statement reads, "the US will take decisive action." The proposed sanctions are a direct response to Russia's ongoing aggression in Ukraine. The video also highlights the recent imposition of new sanctions by the European Union on May 20th, targeting approximately 200 vessels associated with Russia's shadow fleet. Adding to the pressure, US Senator Marco Rubio informed the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee that Russia had agreed to present its terms for a ceasefire in the coming days. The senators' statement emphasizes the seriousness of the situation and the potential for further escalation if Russia does not engage in good-faith negotiations for a lasting peace in Ukraine. The EU's actions demonstrate a unified front against Russian aggression, sending a clear message that the international community will not tolerate further violations of Ukraine's sovereignty.
