The US Senate has voted to advance a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill that could allow tariffs of up to 100% on countries continuing significant purchases of Russian energy, placing India among those potentially affected. The legislation is intended to increase economic pressure on Russia over the Ukraine conflict while granting the US President authority to impose tariffs under specified conditions. The bill must still clear additional legislative stages before becoming law. If enacted, it could have implications for India's trade and energy ties with Russia, alongside broader economic and diplomatic consequences. The proposed measure underscores Washington's tougher approach toward nations maintaining substantial energy commerce with Moscow. (PC: PTI)
