The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Sunday that a bipartisan economic sanctions package against Russia could soon be passed by the Senate.
Victoria Nuland, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, will testify on Capitol Hill on Dec. 7, 2021, about the U.S.-Russia policy.
Bipartisan talks about the economic sanctions bill that would include immediate penalties against Russia are at a 1-yard line.
The bill includes sanctions against Russia's largest banks and further military aid to Ukraine.
There is bipartisan resolve in the Senate for the package, according to the senator.
Chris Coons, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is hoping that a bipartisan sanctions bill can be passed this week.
The U.S. and Russia are talking about the situation at the border. Russia has a serious diplomatic path if it chooses, but talks have largely stopped after the Russian Foreign Minister criticized the U.S. The U.S. and NATO stand by the right of Ukraine to join the alliance. NATO may soon have thousands of troops stationed near Ukraine. The Senate voted against a package of sanctions against Russia earlier this month because they wanted to wait for a package related to Russian aggression in Ukraine.
Tucker Carlson, host of Fox News, and Michael Flynn, a national security advisor during the Trump Administration, have criticized American support for Ukraine. The U.S. side always with countries that are democracies, before saying that Carlson will sing a very different tune.

The U.S. won't budge on Ukraine's sovereignty, but it will remain with Russia.
According to the Pentagon, the U.S. prepares over 8,000 troops for possible deployment to aid Ukraine.
Russia says that Putin wouldn't be hurt by personal sanctions.
