华盛顿讯——俄亥俄州联邦共和党众议员迈克·特纳周日表示，他希望参议院能尽快通过一项对俄制裁法案，将其作为联邦参议员林赛·格雷厄姆的“遗产之一”。格雷厄姆是强化对俄制裁的坚定支持者，于周六突然离世。
“这项法案具有重要象征意义，能传递‘我们将与乌克兰站在一起’的信号。我当然希望参议院能在本周推进该法案，”特纳在《与玛格丽特·布伦南面对全国》节目中说道。
周五，格雷厄姆与康涅狄格州联邦民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔、新罕布什尔州联邦民主党参议员珍妮·沙欣，以及密西西比州联邦共和党参议员罗杰·威克一同宣布，他们已与特朗普政府达成协议，将推进一项更新后的对俄制裁方案。
该方案旨在向莫斯科施加经济压力，以结束这场已持续四年的乌克兰战争，将对与俄罗斯开展业务的国家实施制裁和关税，包括那些购买俄罗斯石油的国家。
格雷厄姆于周六因“一场短暂且突发的疾病”去世。他早在去年4月首次提出该法案后，便已推动这项制裁方案超过一年。去年7月，格雷厄姆在《与玛格丽特·布伦南面对全国》节目中表示，俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争正迎来“转折点”，称更严格的制裁将为特朗普提供对抗俄罗斯经济的“大锤”。但尽管该法案得到了参议院多数议员的支持，参议院共和党人仍等待了数月，等待政府的批准。
这位南卡罗来纳州共和党议员几天前刚在基辅与乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基会面。泽连斯基周日追忆格雷厄姆，称其是“为乌克兰争取两党、两院支持的坚定倡导者”。
上周格雷厄姆与特纳及其他议员一同出席了北约年度峰会。特纳表示，他们与泽连斯基会面时，“林赛·格雷厄姆一直强调这项制裁法案的必要性”。
特纳称，“失去林赛最令人痛心的一点是，在关于是否应奉行克制的‘美国优先’外交政策的辩论中，你可以坚持美国优先，同时明白不必单打独斗。”
“盟友们希望听到美国的声音。美国的声音至关重要。美国需要站在自由、民主和 liberty（自由）一边，”特纳说道，“而这正是他们在林赛·格雷厄姆身上看到的特质。”
这位俄亥俄州共和党议员表示，“他们在林赛身上看到的是，一个敢于站出来发声的人：‘你并不孤单，美国与你同在。’”
“他就是乌克兰的那个声音，”特纳补充道。
特纳称，虽然他不清楚共和党领导层是否考虑推进这项制裁法案，但众议院已通过了该法案的一个版本。
“所以我知道该法案拥有广泛支持，”他说，“有超过推翻否决权所需票数的参议员联署了该法案。在白宫的支持下，这项法案本周就能提交给总统。”
得克萨斯州联邦共和党众议员迈克尔·麦考尔周日在X平台上发文称，他将于本周提出格雷厄姆提出的对俄制裁法案的众议院版本，并敦促“国会应通过该法案以纪念他”。
沙欣在纪念格雷厄姆逝世的声明中表示，“没有什么比通过几天前参议员们宣布已获得白宫支持的对俄制裁法案，更能恰当地纪念林赛、他的遗产以及他为之奋斗的事业”。她提到格雷厄姆“长久以来的梦想是拥有一个独立且安全的乌克兰”。
布卢门撒尔同样在纪念格雷厄姆的声明中敦促参议院领导层尽快推进该制裁法案。这位康涅狄格州民主党议员表示，他将“永远铭记我们上周末那次长时间的交谈，当时他为我们就对俄制裁法案达成协议而欣喜若狂，并说道：‘这真是太他妈重要了——我们都做得很好’”。
“我们上次交谈时，他展现出了我从未见过的热情和兴奋，”布卢门撒尔说道，“尽快通过这项制裁法案将是一份恰当的致敬。”
Rep. Mike Turner says he hopes Senate will pass Russia sanctions as “one of the legacies” of Lindsey Graham

Washington — GOP Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio said Sunday that he’s hopeful the Senate will soon pass a Russia sanctions bill as “one of the legacies” of Sen. Lindsey Graham, a staunch backer of stricter Russia sanctions who died suddenly Saturday.
“This bill would be an important symbolism to say, ‘We’re going to be with Ukraine.’ And I certainly hope the Senate moves it this week,” Turner said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”
On Friday, Graham announced alongside Democratic Sens. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, and GOP Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi, that they had reached an agreement with the Trump administration to move forward with an updated Russia sanctions package.
Designed to heap economic pressure on Moscow in an effort to bring the four-year war on Ukraine to a close, the package would impose sanctions and tariffs on countries doing business with Russia, including those that buy Russian oil.
Graham, who died after a “brief and sudden illness” Saturday, had been pushing for the sanctions for more than a year, after first introducing the bill last April. Last July, Graham said on “Face the Nation” that a “turning point” was coming in Russia’s war with Ukraine, saying tighter sanctions would give Trump a “sledgehammer” against Russia’s economy. But Senate Republicans waited for months for the go-ahead from the administration, despite support from the bulk of the chamber.
The South Carolina Republican met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just days ago in Kyiv. Zelenskyy remembered Graham Sunday as a “staunch advocate for bipartisan and bicameral support for Ukraine.”
Turner, who was at last week’s annual NATO Summit alongside Graham and other lawmakers, said as they met with Zelenskyy, “Lindsey Graham was making the point of the need for this sanctions bill.”
Turner said “what’s so sad about losing Lindsey” is, in debates about whether to pursue a restrained “America First” foreign policy, “you can be America First and still understand that it doesn’t have to be America alone.”
“Allies want America’s voice. America’s voice is important. America needs to stand for freedom and democracy and liberty,” Turner said. “And that’s what they saw in the voice of Lindsey Graham.”
The Ohio Republican said “what they saw in Lindsey was someone who was willing to stand up and say, ‘You’re not alone. America is with you.’”
“He was that voice with Ukraine,” Turner added.
Turner said while he doesn’t know whether GOP leaders have considered moving the sanctions bill, the House has passed a version of the legislation.
“So I know there’s broad support,” he said. “There were more than a veto-proof number of senators who co-sponsored it. With the White House’s support, this bill could be on the president’s desk this week.”
GOP Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas said in a post on X Sunday that he would introduce a House version of Graham’s Russia sanctions legislation this week, urging that “Congress should pass it in his honor.”
Shaheen said in a statement to mark Graham’s passing that “there can be no more fitting memorial to Lindsey, his legacy, or the causes he fought for” than to pass the Russian sanctions legislation that the senators had announced White House support for days earlier. She cited Graham’s “long-held dream of an independent and secure Ukraine.”
Blumenthal likewise urged Senate leaders to move ahead on the sanctions bill in a statement honoring Graham. The Connecticut Democrats said he will “forever remember our last lengthy conversation this weekend, when he exulted at reaching an agreement on our Russian sanctions bill and said, ‘this is a big effing deal – we all did good.’”
“When we last spoke, he was as enthusiastic and exuberant as I’ve ever seen him,” Blumenthal said. “Passing the sanctions bill right away would be a fitting tribute.”
