Key takeaway The vote took place on the same day as Senator Graham's funeral in Washington.
The US Senate has voted to advance a bill that would impose new sanctions on Russia. The bill targets various aspects of the Russian economy, including energy interests and banking institutions. It is named in honor of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, a supporter of Ukraine.
Further details on the bill are available from the source. The vote took place on the same day as Senator Graham's funeral in Washington. The senator passed away on July 11 at the age of 71.
The bill's advancement is a significant development, but its outcome depends on approval from the House and the president's signature. For more information, readers can refer to the original report.
