A bipartisan group of US senators has unveiled a revised Russia sanctions bill that reduces the proposed tariffs on India, China and three other major buyers of Russian oil from the earlier proposed 500% to a maximum of 100%. The updated legislation, introduced in the US Senate on Tuesday, aims to increase pressure on Moscow over the war in Ukraine while using tariffs as leverage against countries that continue purchasing Russian energy. The proposal identifies India, China, Slovakia, Hungary and Azerbaijan as the five largest buyers of Russian crude that could face tariffs of up to 100%, as per Reuters. The revised measure is a significant change from the earlier version of the bill, introduced in April 2025, which proposed blanket tariffs of 500% on countries importing Russian oil and gas. The latest draft also includes broader sanctions targeting Russia's financial sector, energy industry, defence industrial base, oligarchs and President Vladimir Putin.
