WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Half of the U.S. Senate - 25 Republicans and 25 Democrats - joined together on Tuesday to introduce sanctions that would be imposed on Russia if it refuses to engage in good faith negotiations for peace with Ukraine.
The lead sponsors of the legislation, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, said it would impose primary and secondary sanctions against Russia and entities supporting Russian aggression in Ukraine if Moscow does not engage in talks, or if it initiates another effort undermining Ukraine's sovereignty after any peace deal.
