Democracy is presently under threat from despotism, and Congress must act to defend democracy and help Ukraine defeat Vladimir Putin’s effort to extinguish its liberty and sovereignty.
Rather than fulfilling his oath to promote the general welfare of Americans, Trump continues to dedicate taxpayer resources to his war of choice with Iran.
Right now, Ukrainians are fighting bravely on the front lines of a war not only for the survival of their independent nation but for the future of democracy and respect for international law.
This bill would impose the toughest sanctions we can on Putin’s inner circle, Russia’s oil and gas oligarchs, its shadow fleet of oil tankers, and its financial sector – all of which have sustained Russia’s war machine.
