America must continue to support Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s brutal invasion... I strongly urge the Senate to take up and pass this legislation without delay to provide Ukraine the military aid it needs to win and impose tough sanctions that further isolate and punish Putin.
Continue supporting Ukraine against Russia's invasion, including providing military aid to Ukraine and imposing tough sanctions on Russia.
Occurrences
Evidence
Bacon's official House homepage listed a June 30 item saying Bacon, Kaptur, Fitzpatrick, Quigley, McCaul and Costa introduced a bipartisan Strategic Unmanned Systems Partnership Act to increase U.S.-Ukraine security cooperation and defense capabilities.
The House Clerk recorded H.R. 2913, the Ukraine Support Act, as passed on passage by 226-195. The vote list records Bacon, Republican of Nebraska, voting Yea.
AP reported that the Ukraine bill would approve more than $1 billion in security aid, make another $8 billion available through loans, and impose Russia sanctions; it also reported that Bacon was one of two Republicans signing the discharge petition.
The House Clerk recorded H. Res. 518, on motion to discharge, as passed 218-204 for consideration of H.R. 2913 to authorize support for Ukraine. Bacon, Republican of Nebraska, voted Yea.
AP reported that the House passed legislation to aid Ukraine and sanction key parts of Russia's economy, including more than $1 billion in security and reconstruction aid and up to $8 billion in defense loans.
Assessments
Bacon materially supported the promised Ukraine policy during the same federal term by signing a discharge petition, voting to bring H.R. 2913 forward, voting for House passage of the Ukraine Support Act, and introducing additional Ukraine defense cooperation legislation. The House-passed measure matched the promise's military aid and Russia sanctions components, but the evidence does not show final enactment or actual delivery of new aid and sanctions. This warrants partial credit with an effort badge rather than full delivery.
