Thune: prepared to move on Russia sanctions bill if necessary
Senator Mike Thune, a key Republican in the U.S. Senate, has indicated his readiness to proceed with the "Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025" if necessary. This legislation, introduced in April 2025, aims to impose comprehensive sanctions on the Russian Federation in response to its ongoing conflict with Ukraine [2].The bill, introduced by a bipartisan group of senators, seeks to impose various measures, including financial sanctions, trade restrictions, and prohibitions on energy exports and investments. The bill's provisions are designed to pressure the Russian government to engage in good-faith negotiations for a lasting peace with Ukraine and to prevent another military invasion [2].
Thune's statement comes amidst growing tensions between the U.S. and Russia, with U.S. President Donald Trump having threatened to impose new sanctions on Russia within 10 days if Moscow does not make progress towards ending the conflict [1]. The Kremlin has responded by asserting that it has developed immunity to such measures due to its long experience under sanctions [1].
The "Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025" is one of several legislative efforts aimed at pressuring Russia to end its military involvement in Ukraine. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs for further review and consideration [2].
