Darline Graham, Lindsey Graham’s sister who is currently filling his seat in the chamber and running for a full six-year term this November, gaveled down the vote. The package would impose primary and secondary sanctions on Russia and other countries that support Russia in its invasion of Ukraine. Graham, who died suddenly last month at the age of 71, was a champion of the bill. Zelenskyy attended Graham’s funeral services in Washington, D.C., and was on Capitol Hill last week when the Senate first advanced the Russia sanctions bill, celebrating it as important pressure on Russia.
