Congress approves sweeping Russia sanctions bill to pressure Moscow

The House passed a sweeping Russia sanctions bill that would sanction Moscow’s leadership and energy sector, extend penalties to its defense suppliers, and impose a 100% tariff on top buyers of Russian energy. The vote ends a nearly two-year lull in Ukraine aid and sends the measure to President Trump for signature, despite Democratic concerns about tariff powers and potential domestic harm; Zelenskyy supported the bill, while some Democrats warned it could be misused or undermine security aid.
