This bill would send a “powerful signal” to Russian dictator Putin, says the former speaker of the US House of Representatives.

On Wednesday, July 9, 2025, Senator Lindsey Graham’s bill on sanctions against the Russian Federation will be introduced in the United States Congress .

Former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Newt Gingrich made this statement on social media . According to him, this bill will send a “powerful signal” to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. 

“Senator Lindsey Graham’s important bill to strengthen sanctions against Russia will be introduced on Wednesday. This is a very important bill that will send a powerful signal to Putin that talking and killing is a losing strategy. The American people will only tolerate the lies of a murderous dictator for a limited time. Senator Graham’s bill is the next smart step in pressuring Putin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine,” Gingrich said.

It should be noted that this bill provides for a 500% duty for countries that will purchase Russian goods.

  1. Let’s see how much they have been watered down before patting yourselves on the back.

  2. It’s already watered down. Sanctions will be imposed at the president’s discretion, which means no sanctions.
