President Donald Trump will support a Russia sanctions bill championed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, in a move that would increase pressure on the Kremlin to end its war in Ukraine, Graham, one of the Senate's most vocal Republican backers of Ukraine, died suddenly on Saturday after returning from a trip to Kyiv, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Graham and a bipartisan group of senators had reached an agreement with the Trump administration Friday to advance new Russia sanctions legislation.

White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
