Blumenthal pushes House to pass Senate-approved Russia sanctions bill
The bill would cut off oil and gas revenue for Vladimir Putin and add Patriot missiles and licensing support for Ukraine, Blumenthal said.
- With Congress back in session, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal is pushing House colleagues to pass a Russia sanctions bill the Senate approved before the recess.
- Following a six-day trip to Ukraine last week, Blumenthal returned to advocate for the legislation, which includes Patriot interceptor missiles and licensing agreements for the nation.
- Blumenthal urged President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to personally lobby House lawmakers, aiming to deprive Russian President Vladimir Putin of oil and gas revenue through sanctions.
- The Senate previously passed the measure with an 86 to 11 vote; House Speaker Mike Johnson should now round up the votes to send the bill to the White House.
- Describing the legislation as a "moment of extreme urgency," Blumenthal noted the sanctions could undercut Putin's ability to wage his "murderous" war.
