💨 Abstract

On June 1, 2025, two senior U.S. senators, Lindsey Graham (R) and Richard Blumenthal (D), warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing a new military offensive in Ukraine while stalling peace talks. They urged swift action on a bipartisan sanctions bill aiming to choke off Russia's war economy, including imposing 500% tariffs on countries buying Russian energy exports.
