Ukraine supporters in the Senate said they have more bipartisan momentum than ever to push stronger sanctions on Russia. All they need is for Senate leaders to call a vote.
Ukraine carried out airstrikes earlier this week that destroyed more than 43 bomber planes deep within Russia. The success and scale of the strikes, dubbed “Operation Spiderweb,” are helping to build more support for Ukraine among members of the U.S. Senate considering heavier sanctions on Russia, the top backers said.
“We have growing momentum,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal told NOTUS. “The only question is when we’ll have the vote.”
