The US Senate has moved to a new stage in the work on a key document concerning aid to Ukraine. Bill HR2913, known as the "Ukraine Support Act," has been officially added to the legislative calendar after passing the second reading. This decision paves the way for the initiative to be considered at a plenary session of the upper house of parliament.
As reported by RBK-Ukraine citing data from the official Congress website, the movement of the document was recorded on July 20. On this day, the bill was included in the Senate's agenda under general number 462. This status is a critically important stage: now the document has every chance of being put to a final vote.
History of the initiative and the path through committees
The idea behind the bill is not new. The initiative was first submitted to the House of Representatives by Democrat Gregory Meeks from New York State as early as April 14, 2025. Since its submission, the document has gone through a long path of coordination. It was studied by relevant committees on foreign affairs, armed forces, budget, and judiciary. Furthermore, one roll call vote has already been held on the document.
The "hellish sanctions" mechanism and economic pressure
The Office of the President of Ukraine (OPO) has already explained the mechanisms of the updated version of the bill, which is also linked to the Sanctioning Russia Act 2026 initiative. Experts note that the document demonstrates a shift from a simple political signal to systematic economic pressure on the Russian economy.
Previously, the press featured details about the specifics of Lindsey Graham's bill, as well as lists of individuals and entities that could fall under new sanctions. The question of adopting these restrictions was previously commented on by Donald Trump, who assessed the possibility of introducing strict measures against the aggressor country.
