Lindsey Graham to push ‘bone-breaking sanctions and tariffs against Russia’
As the Trump administration works towards mediating an end to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has announced his plans to introduce “bone-breaking sanctions and tariffs” in an effort to push Russia towards making peace. The United States and Ukraine recently issued a joint statement expressing Ukraine’s willingness to agree to a 30-day ceasefire.
The statement highlighted that Ukraine has agreed to accept a proposed immediate interim ceasefire, which can be extended by mutual agreement and is contingent upon acceptance and simultaneous implementation by Russia. Despite this, Senator Graham expressed doubts about Russia’s willingness to accept the ceasefire, stating that he is skeptical about their intentions to end the war.
In response to this, Senator Graham declared his intention to introduce tough sanctions and tariffs against Russia before the week’s end in order to compel them to pursue peace with the same determination as Ukraine. He emphasized that there will be consequences if Russia fails to comply with the ceasefire.
Senator Graham anticipates bipartisan support for his proposal, emphasizing that Russian reciprocity is crucial for achieving peace. The U.S. and Ukraine also plan to communicate to Russia that their cooperation is essential for peace and have agreed to lift the pause on intelligence sharing and resume security assistance to Ukraine.
Senator Graham, a seasoned politician with over 22 years in the Senate and previous experience in the House, is determined to take decisive action to end the conflict. The situation continues to evolve, and it remains to be seen how Russia will respond to these latest developments.
