A bill sanctioning Russia reached a critical agreement between the White House and a bipartisan coalition of senators, paving the way forward for its formal introduction, a bipartisan group of senators said Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to announce that we have reached an agreement with the Trump Administration to move our updated Russia sanctions legislation forward,\u201d Sens. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut Democrat, Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire Democrat, and Roger Wicker, Mississippi Republican, said in a statement. \u201cWe are very pleased with this significant progress and expect to roll out the legislation very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

After wrapping up his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Friday, Mr. Graham told reporters that by coming to an agreement, \u201cIt means it\u2019s \u200bgoing to become law.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the four lawmakers have been working closely with the Trump administration on a version of the bill that was \u201cwritten in a way they could support.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new version of the legislation sanctions buyers of Russian oil \u2014 a tactic to pressure Moscow to end its four-year war against Kyiv.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Russia intensifies its slaughter of civilians, it is imperative that the legislative \u200band executive branches work together to create tools to exact a heavy price on those \u2060who buy Russian oil and natural gas, fueling the Putin war machine,\u201d the senators\u2019 statement read.<\/p>\n

The success of the bill has been intertwined with President Trump\u2019s efforts to mediate a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, but the Kremlin\u2019s refusal to end the war has dampened any progress.<\/p>\n

Previous efforts to move the bill forward failed, including Democratic opposition after reports detailed Mr. Trump\u2019s negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin favored Moscow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite gaining more than 80 bipartisan co-sponsors, the bill has stalled in the Senate for more than a year, repeatedly put on hold as Mr. Trump pursued talks to end Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Mr. Graham touted White House support in January, but nothing happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, House Democrats, joined by a bloc of 18 Republicans, passed a bill to deliver fresh aid to Ukraine and impose sanctions against Russia, going over the heads of GOP leadership. Now, it\u2019s sitting in the Senate.<\/p>\n

After meeting with Mr. Graham, Mr. Zelenskyy thanked his U.S. partners, stressing the importance of using sanctions to end the war.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stronger Ukraine is on the battlefield, the greater the chances that diplomacy will ultimately succeed. And right now, it is important that our long-range sanctions pressure on \u200bRussia be reinforced through new sanctions steps by our partners,\u201d he said on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the recent NATO summit, Mr. Trump committed to permitting Ukraine to domestically co-produce Patriot air defense interceptors and announced advancing strategic drone agreements \u2014 a milestone in their previously rocky relationship that included a tense Oval Office meeting in February of last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve actually developed a good relationship,\u201d Mr. Trump said Wednesday, referring to him and Mr. Zelenskyy. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe, right? From the Oval Office to now, I think we\u2019ve developed a very good relationship.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
