Ben Cardin: “I would just like to have your assurance that the privatization initiatives are going to be reviewed very carefully.”

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.

I introduced the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act as a way of saying that we will hold abusers accountable even if their own country does not.

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

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