WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) is ready to move on a bill sanctioning Russia if a cease-fire with Ukraine isn’t reached by the end of next week — if President Trump gives him “the green light. ” Thune told The Post in an exclusive interview Wednesday that he’s “hopeful” the legislation — introduced by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and sponsored by more than 80 senators — would give Trump more leverage to wind down the 41-month-old war.
