The U.S. House of Representatives is set to approve a sweeping sanctions bill aimed at crippling Russia’s financial backbone by targeting high-ranking officials and critical economic sectors. The legislation seeks to cut off funding streams that sustain Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine, intensifying pressure on President Vladimir Putin’s regime. With bipartisan support, the measure represents a major escalation in economic warfare against Moscow. Lawmakers emphasize that the sanctions are designed to weaken Russia’s ability to continue its offensive while isolating its leadership.


The House will vote Wednesday on a broad package of sanctions targeting Russian officials and key pillars of its economy as lawmakers look to deprive Russian President Vladimir Putin of the financial resources needed to wage the war against Ukraine.
