The US Senate has voted to advance a bill that would impose new sanctions on Russia. The bill targets various Russian entities, including energy interests and banking institutions. It is named in honor of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, a supporter of Ukraine.

The vote was held on the same day as Graham's funeral in Washington. Further details about the bill and its potential impact are available from NewsChannel 5 WTVF. The bill's passage in the Senate is the first step towards it becoming law, with approval from the House and the President's signature still required.
