Blumenthal, Graham, Shaheen, & Wicker Announce Agreement on Legislation to Hold Purchasers of Russian Oil Accountable

[WASHINGTON, DC] - U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Roger Wicker (R-MS) released the following statement today:

"We are proud to announce that we have reached an agreement with the Trump Administration to move our updated Russia sanctions legislation forward. We are very pleased with this significant progress and expect to roll out the legislation very soon. As Russia intensifies its slaughter of civilians, it is imperative that the legislative and executive branches work together to create tools to exact a heavy price on those who buy Russian oil and natural gas, fueling the Putin war machine."
