HR 2548, the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025, as well as its Senate counterpart S 1241, seek to impose stringent sanctions on Russia in response to their unjustified invasion of Ukraine. The sanctions target key sectors of the Russian economy and individuals complicit in the war crimes being committed. Cutting off Russia's access to critical technologies and financial systems is crucial to increasing pressure on Putin's regime to end this senseless war. Defending Ukraine's sovereignty and holding Russia accountable upholds democratic values and the rules-based international order. Swift passage of this legislation is encouraged as part of a united front against Russia's unacceptable aggression.
