WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee said on Tuesday he would introduce a bill to address the crisis in Ukraine including $150 million in aid, sanctions against Ukrainians and Russians responsible for violence and human rights violations in Ukraine, and backing for a shift in funding for the International Monetary Fund.

"Ukrainian sovereignty cannot be violated for looking westward and embracing ideals rooted in freedom," Senator Robert Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, wrote in a column in The Washington Post, in which he laid out details of the Ukraine bill he plans to introduce.
