# Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has welcomed the US House of Representatives’ passage of a sweeping sanctions bill targeting Russia. The legislation, approved by 262 votes to 159, targets Russia’s energy and defence industries and its shadow fleet of oil tankers used to evade sanctions. It would also allow US President Donald Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100-percent on countries including China and India that continue buying Russian oil and gas. The legislation passed the Senate last month and now has to be signed by Trump.
