PoliticsRussia sanctions bill faces make-or-break moment before US midterms, Ukraine says

Ukraine’s sanctions commissioner Vladyslav Vlasiuk says it remains unclear whether the U.S. House will vote next week on legislation allowing tariffs of up to 100% on countries buying Russian oil and gas. The bill has a narrow window before the Nov. 3 midterms. Although the Senate passed it 86-11, Speaker Mike Johnson has cast doubt on a pre-election vote.
