WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) urged Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to immediately consider a comprehensive and bipartisan sanctions package in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine must be met with severe and unified consequences,” wrote Sen. Moran. “It is essential to demonstrate to the American public and the world that the Senate can work expeditiously and in a bipartisan manner to address matters of global security.”
The full letter can be found here and below.
Dear Majority Leader Schumer:
Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine must be met with severe and unified consequences.
The United States Senate should immediately consider a comprehensive and bipartisan sanctions package as soon as our colleagues on the relevant Senate committees can reach an agreement. It is essential to demonstrate to the American public and the world that the Senate can work expeditiously and in a bipartisan manner to address matters of global security. Our friends and foes will take note of our ability—or inability—to act.
Thus, I respectfully request you to suspend planned floor activity once legislation on this matter is prepared and move without delay to hold Putin accountable for his actions.
Sincerely,
Jerry Moran
