Vladyslav Vlasiuk, Ukraine’s presidential commissioner for sanctions policy, arrived in Washington in early September to lobby House lawmakers on a bill that already sailed through the Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support. His mission: convince holdouts that the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 deserves the same warm reception on the other side of the Capitol.
The Senate passed the legislation 86-11 on August 7. That kind of margin would make most bills a formality in the House. This one, though, has a problem that no amount of bipartisan Senate goodwill can easily fix.
