Benjamin L. Cardin: “Although the headlines may be focused elsewhere, brave determined Ukrainians are still battling to defend their homeland…”

Thank you very much for holding this hearing on the implementation of Global Magnitsky sanctions.

We imposed sanctions on the individual.

Freedom House is pleased to support the Human Rights Defenders Protection Act, led by Chairman Cardin.
