US Senators preparing bill to boost anti-Russia sanctions

Washington, Jan 28 (UNI/Sputnik) Eight Republican and Democratic senators are preparing a new bipartisan, veto- and filibuster-proof bill to impose compulsory economic sanctions on Russia and new measures to counter alleged Russian propaganda and cyberattacks if Moscow invades Ukraine, Politico reported.
The proposed legislation is already believed to be able to attract the support of well over 67 of the 100 members of the US Senate, ensuring it would pass into law even over filibuster intended to kill it or over any veto from President Joe Biden, the report said on Thursday.
The text of the new bill has not yet been finalized and it is not certain whether Biden will decide to openly support it, the report said.
