The Senate on Friday passed a bill aimed at punishing Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, a long-delayed effort that senators raced to finish in recent weeks as a tribute to the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

The bill, which would also levy penalties on Iran, was passed in a bipartisan 86-11 vote, overcoming Democratic angst over provisions that would expand the president’s tariff authorities.

“Today we say to the people of Ukraine, you are not alone. And we say to [Russian President] Vladimir Putin, you will not conquer Ukraine,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., one of the bill’s chief backers, said on the Senate floor Friday.

After recalling the trips to Ukraine he took with Graham that spurred the two of them to write the bill, Blumenthal said the bill, which has been named after Graham, “carries on the work that he believed was so important.”

“It will impose scorching sanctions on the Russia war machine and the shadow fleet that sustains it,” Blumenthal said. “It will prevent critical resources from flowing to the Kremlin’s coffers.”

The bill would slap sanctions on individuals and institutions in Russia and in other countries that support Russia’s defense programs, its energy industry or its efforts to evade sanctions, including those that help Russia’s so-called shadow fleet of ships surreptitiously transporting oil around the world.

The bill — which was essentially attached to an unrelated early childhood education measure that also passed as part of Friday’s vote — would also allow for tariffs on imported goods from countries that buy most of Russia’s oil or gas and from nations that enable Russian sanctions evasion.

The Russia sanctions and tariffs would sunset five years after the bill’s enactment.

While punishing Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine is a bipartisan ambition, the bill’s tariff provisions have drawn opposition from Democrats; they say President Donald Trump, who has sought to stretch existing tariff law to carry out trade wars, cannot be trusted to use expanded authorities as intended.

Disagreement over tariffs

Prior to approving the bill Friday, the Senate voted on an amendment from Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., that would have stripped the tariffs provisions from the bill. The amendment was rejected 32-64.

For days, Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., also held up a final vote on the bill in an effort to get a vote on his amendment to tweak, rather than remove, the tariff authorities.

But by Thursday night, Warnock dropped his demand for a vote on his amendment after U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer sent him a written commitment to follow the law as written.

“Let’s be clear: Putin is a war criminal, and his war machine must be stopped,” Warnock said on the Senate floor Friday. “But we should not have to choose between putting a check on Putin’s aggression and putting a check on this president’s tariff regime.”

Warnock added later in his floor speech that the “commitment that we were able to get from Ambassador Greer is meaningful, because if the president ignores the law, if he oversteps his power, we will see him in court.”

In addition to Russia sanctions, the bill would extend the expiration date of the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, which penalizes companies that invest in Iran’s energy sector. The new expiration would be in 2031, rather than this year.

Graham announced a long-sought deal with the White House on the bill a day before his sudden death July 11.

His death appeared to spur senators to quickly move on the legislation, with the Senate taking an initial procedural vote the same day as his Washington, D.C., funeral.

The Senate also advanced the bill after hearing directly from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about the importance of the measure to his country’s effort to defend itself against Russia. Zelenskyy came to D.C. for Graham’s funeral, met with senators just before last week’s procedural vote and watched that vote from the first row of the Senate gallery.

The House, which is on recess until Aug. 31, has not indicated whether it will take up the Senate bill.

The House previously passed a Russia sanctions and Ukraine aid bill in June, a vote that only happened after supporters used a discharge petition to force a vote over GOP leadership’s objections.

The sponsor of the House-passed bill, Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Rep. Gregory W. Meeks, D-N.Y., has expressed opposition to the Senate bill’s tariff provisions.
