Two leading United States senators said on Sunday that they are very close to reaching a deal on legislation to sanction Russia over its actions regarding Ukraine - including measures that may take effect before an invasion.

While on CNN's "State of the Union," Senators Bob Menendez and James Risch said they hoped to move the bill forward this week.

"I would describe it as that we are on the one-yard line," using a football reference meaning very close to the goal. "And hopefully, we will be able to conclude successfully."

According to Menendez, there is "no doubt" that there is bipartisan support to provide Ukrainian aid and punish Russia with "severe consequences" if it does invade.

Menendez calls what he is working on with Risch "the mother of all sanctions," including "massive sanctions against the most significant Russian banks."

When asked if an agreement would be reached, he said, "I believe that we will get there."
