House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) threw his support behind renewed congressional efforts to sanction the Kremlin over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s brutal war against Ukraine.
“There’s many members of Congress that want us to sanction Russia as strongly as we can,” Johnson told reporters on Monday. “And I’m an advocate of that.”
The House speaker’s support for legislation punishing the Russian regime comes amid a bipartisan push in the Senate to impose “bone-breaking sanctions” on Russia.
“You will see congressional action,” the South Carolina Republican said during a press conference in Ukraine last week.
Like Johnson, Graham noted that “there are House members that are ready” to pass the sanctions bill and get it to President Trump’s desk for his signature.
