The Ukraine Support Act can deliver that assistance, as well as impose additional sanctions on Russia to hold it accountable for its brutal war... It also includes further vital provisions to sustain security assistance to Ukraine for its defense
Support legislation to impose additional sanctions on Russia and sustain security assistance to Ukraine.
Occurrences
Now is the time to intensify pressure on Putin through crippling sanctions while surging support for our Ukrainian allies. I have been a supporter of every bipartisan sanctions bill on the table to pressure Russia to end its illegal full-scale invasion, and I am confident that the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 will accomplish that mission.

Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, as a leader of the bipartisan Congressional Ukraine Caucus, said the administration’s decision to ease sanctions on Russia “raises serious questions” and “threatens to weaken the international pressure campaign against Vladimir Putin’s war machine.” The statement says caucus leaders have “pushed for stronger sanctions on Dictator Vladimir Putin’s regime to bring this war to an end.”

Kaptur and other Ukraine Caucus co-chairs issued a statement calling for stronger sanctions after a report tied Rosneft and Gazprom to the abduction and militarization of Ukrainian children, noting the report came amid efforts to ease oil sanctions on those Russian entities.

Kaptur and bipartisan colleagues said their discharge petition for H.R. 2913, the Ukraine Support Act, received the final signature needed to compel a House vote. The statement says the bill will “soon come to the House Floor for a vote” and describes it as robust legislation to support Ukraine.

The Clerk’s discharge petitions list includes Petition No. 8 for H.R. 2913, “to authorize support for Ukraine, and for other purposes,” with petition date July 17, 2025 and sponsor Gregory W. Meeks.
Assessments
The evidence shows Kaptur actively supported legislation that would both increase sanctions on Russia and sustain security assistance to Ukraine. She helped advance H.R. 2913, the Ukraine Support Act, through a successful discharge petition, and other evidence shows she introduced or backed related sanctions measures and publicly pushed for stronger sanctions. However, the record provided does not show that the relevant legislation was enacted or that the promised policy outcome was fully achieved. Because she made substantial legislative efforts in the same term but there is no proof of final passage or implemented outcome, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
