Today, @SenatorShaheen, @SenBooker, @SenJeffMerkley, @ChrisVanHollen issued a statement urging free and fair elections in Zambia ahead of the August 13 election. 🔗 Full statement:

“I welcome the release of Robert Gilman who was wrongfully detained in Russia for over four years. My thoughts are with him and his family as he returns to the U.S. We must continue to push for the release of all Americans unjustly detained around the world.” -@SenatorShaheen

“My heart goes out to the people of Colombia and the emergency workers and volunteers helping with recovery efforts following yesterday's devastating earthquake. We must stand ready to support relief efforts for those displaced and in dire need of assistance.” -@SenatorShaheen

Yesterday, @RepMcCaul and @RepStenyHoyer introduced the Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act in the House of Representatives after it passed the Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support. @SenatorShaheen welcomed its introduction ⬇️

We are very grateful to the U.S. Senate and to everyone who supports Ukraine. Adopting the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act certainly helps increase pressure on the aggressor to bring this insane Russian war against our independence and our people to an end. Ukraine appreciates ALL the support the United States is providing to Ukraine – from both parties and the entire American people. And now, when Putin is making his final bet on ballistic missiles to drag out the war, and when we are searching every nook and cranny so hard for Patriot missiles to protect ourselves, every signal in support of defending lives and bringing the war to an end as soon as possible is extremely important. Real, strong American pressure and sanctions against Russia are what will help the most. Diplomacy comes closer with every step of pressure on the aggressor. Thank you to everyone who understands this and advances PEACE through STRENGTH.

Today the U.S. Senate honored the legacy of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham — a life dedicated to peace and security in foreign policy. Let’s carry that legacy forward: more pressure on Russia to finally show readiness for peace. 🇺🇸🇩🇪

Coming on the back of the EU’s 21st package, I welcome the US Senate’s adoption of the Graham Bill. It honours a fierce believer in the power of coordinated sanctions to weaken Russia's war machine. From Russian oligarchs to energy exports and the shadow fleet, every source of revenue that fuels the Kremlin's aggression must be targeted - from all sides. Together, let us drain Russia's means to continue a war it cannot win. With hard-hitting, complementary sanctions, Europe and the United States can once again show what historic partners can achieve when we act together.

I sincerely welcome the U.S. Senate’s adoption of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 and am grateful for this important step to further strengthen the sanctions regime against the Russian aggressor. This landmark legislation is a powerful demonstration of America’s global leadership. I extend my sincere gratitude to the members of the U.S. Senate for their leadership, their principled bipartisan support, and their enduring solidarity with Ukraine. Together, we are bringing a lasting peace closer.

WATCH: Following Senate passage of the Russia sanctions bill, @SenatorShaheen underscores @ZelenskyyUa's support:   "President Zelenskyy told Members of Congress, 'Ukraine needs this bill.' I hope our colleagues in the House will pass this legislation as soon as they return."

⚠️ BREAKING: the U.S. Senate just passed the biggest sanctions package on Russia in years with an overwhelming majority—targeting the core of Russia’s war economy.   This is a win for Ukraine and for America.

"Every day that Putin gains more time, more Ukrainians are killed.   This legislation is what President @ZelenskyyUa asked us to do, and what Senator Graham worked so hard to achieve." -@SenatorShaheen

"Make no mistake: Russia is watching what we do. We have the history of this war to show that every time the United States backs away from putting pressure on Russia from help Ukraine, from funding the war, Russia ups its attacks on Ukraine." -@SenatorShaheen

News: Shaheen, Wicker, Grassley & Durbin plus Keating & Turner are calling on the administration to impose sanctions on Bosnian Serb officials in line with this year's NDAA, per a statement shared first with @Semafor, after Republika Srpska authorities interrogated authors of a report on genocide denial.

I sat down with @AaronParnas on the Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act. The momentum is on Ukraine's side right now. Anything we can do to get Vladimir Putin to the table, now is the time to do it.
