U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham said on July 10 that he had reached an agreement with the White House on a Russia sanctions bill, potentially clearing the way for the long-stalled measure to advance.

Axar.az reports, citing foreign media, that Graham made the remarks during a visit to Kyiv.

"We've reached an agreement with the White House on a version of the Russia sanctions bill that they will support," he said.

The sanctions package, spearheaded by Graham, a Republican, and Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, "would give tools to President (Donald) Trump to help end this war," the lawmaker noted.

It would also "create tools to punish those countries that prop up (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, that make money off this war," Graham added, saying he and Blumenthal will soon discuss moving the package forward with Democratic and Republican Congressional leaders.
