From Washington: A bipartisan group of senators is moving forward with a bill to impose sanctions on buyers of Russian oil. The legislation is said to honor the late Senator Lindsey Graham, who had worked on the bill. Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, had reached an agreement with the White House on the bill's text shortly before his death.

The bill, known as the "Sanctioning Russia Act", aims to hold Vladimir Putin accountable. It was first introduced by Graham and Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut, last year. Further details on the bill's progress and provisions are available from the source.
