"Having just returned from Ukraine, I write to unequivocally urge that H.R. 2548, the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025, be scheduled for immediate floor consideration."

The War in Ukraine issue page includes a September 2025 entry for "Rep. Turner Urges Immediate Vote on Sanctioning Russia Act Upon Return from War-Torn Ukraine" and a June 4, 2025 entry for "Turner Expresses Support for the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025."
The bill text shows the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 was introduced in the Senate on April 1, 2025 and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
Assessments
The promise was to urge an immediate Senate vote on the Sanctioning Russia Act. Evidence shows Turner publicly supported the measure and took a concrete advocacy step by pressing for immediate consideration, which qualifies as meaningful effort. But the record provided does not show that the Senate actually held the requested vote, nor that Turner secured that outcome. Because this is a promise to advocate rather than necessarily to guarantee passage, and the available evidence confirms the urging occurred while leaving the requested Senate action unverified, the best judgment is unresolved rather than delivered or never.
