Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Republicans will vote on a Russia sanctions bill once Trump approves it, as pressure mounts on Moscow to negotiate peace in Ukraine.

KYIV, Ukraine — Russian President Vladimir Putin is “not ready for compromises” to end his brutal war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told The Post in an exclusive interview on Wednesday — but President Trump has the power to bring him to his knees by speeding up tough sanctions that could cause a “social explosion” in Russia.

Congressional Republicans completed Trump's tax legislation and now tackle Russia sanctions, government funding, and spending cuts. The narrow House and Senate majorities create challenges for upcoming legislative priorities including defense authorization.

Bipartisan senators Graham and Blumenthal lauded Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs against Moscow and vowed to continue working on their own "sledgehammer" sanctions package.

Russian officials and commentators have shown little indication that Moscow is about to change course under new pressure.

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to hit buyers of Russian exports with sanctions unless Russia agrees a peace deal over the conflict in Ukraine, potentially complicating Moscow's oil sales to China,

Donald Trump wants the public to believe that Vladimir Putin “didn’t fool” him, but the Republican's recent record is in the way of his absurd talking point.

Donald Trump’s remarks on Ukraine on Monday were far from the biggest announcement the US president could have made.
