# Senate Proposes Russia Sanctions

Introduced in the Senate on July 16, 2026, S. 5025, the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026, would impose sanctions, tariffs, and prohibitions on trade and business connected to Russia. The bill does not provide direct procurement appropriations or agency contract funding, but its proposed restrictions could affect contractor supply chains and sourcing involving Russian defense-industrial suppliers, Russian-origin goods and energy, covered foreign financial institutions, and vessels. The bill’s measures are proposed, not current requirements; contractors should assess relevant exposure while its legislative status and the proposed presidential national-interest waiver remain unresolved.

- Companies with Russia-linked suppliers or sourcing should identify potential exposure across defense-industrial inputs, goods, energy, financial services, and shipping.
- Because the bill does not fund contracts, its procurement relevance is primarily supply-chain and trade risk rather than a new contracting opportunity.
- Contractors can use the bill’s proposed scope to inform supply-chain reviews, while distinguishing proposed restrictions from sanctions or prohibitions currently in force.
- The Senate’s consideration of S. 5025 and the proposed national-interest waiver could affect how any eventual restrictions apply; the signal provides no implementation date or procurement deadline.
