Ben Cardin: “We cannot run away from this responsibility, and I thank you for holding this hearing.”

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

You have found the Achilles hill of the Putin regime. They rape, torture and kill with impunity and keep their ill-gotten gains in the West.

We imposed sanctions on the individual.

There is no reason why somebody should be sanctioned in America and not in Europe or not in the U.K.
