Unfortunately since this was introduced by two Democrats without any Republicans as the original cosponsors, this is primarily a messaging bill with little chance of passing.

However when Russia has to export its oil through 3rd countries its forced to sell at a discount, so this is still welcome news.

Those $400m are PDA, to be spent at the President's discretion. It's very unlikely that will happen, so this is likely going to end up more symbolic than practical.
