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

Kaptur backed the Ukraine Support Act, which would impose additional sanctions on Russia and sustain security assistance to Ukraine.

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.”

Direct public advocacy for stronger Russia sanctions; supports the sanctions portion of the claim.

Kaptur announced introduction of H.R. 8219, the BLOCK PUTIN Act, which would hold senior Hungarian government officials accountable if they continue to block European assistance to Ukraine or deepen Hungary’s reliance on Russian energy.

Concrete legislative action tied to countering Russia’s war effort and enabling support for Ukraine; partial support because it targets Russia-linked obstruction rather than directly imposing Russia sanctions or aid itself.
