American leadership ensures global stability. We must use all possible diplomatic tools to partner with our allies and further the interests of the American people. We must also hold countries and organizations accountable for their actions and use sanctions when necessary to show the resolve of United States to stand up to rogue regimes that wish to harm our country.

"Russia's invasion is unacceptable and it continues to escalate the violence, bombing hospitals and other buildings filled with innocent people, including children. Ending normal trade relations with Putin and his corrupt regime must be done as quickly as possible and that is why I voted for this legislation today,” said Moolenaar.

"President Zelenskyy has shown incredible courage and bravery during Russia’s invasion and his remarks today were inspiring. His heroic leadership and patriotism have led the Ukrainian people through weeks of war, and they have fared far better than anyone ever expected. The Biden Administration must work quickly with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military aid it needs to fight for its survival and defeat the invasion,” said Congressman John Moolenaar following the address.

“The situation in Ukraine remains dire with the latest reports indicating Russia has bombed a maternity hospital and other civilian areas.

"Vladimir Putin’s attack on Ukraine is reprehensible and anyone propping up his regime must no longer be allowed to travel to America. The legislation I am supporting will send a clear message that those responsible for helping Putin attack Ukraine are not welcome in the United States,” said Moolenaar.

"We must impose severe sanctions on Russia as soon as possible, and the NYET Act will make that happen. I am supporting this legislation because it is a smart, targeted approach that will hurt Russian financial institutions and the powerful people who prop up Vladimir Putin’s government,” said Moolenaar. “It will also block U.S. exports of semiconductor chips to Russia. We need those chips here to support our economy and manufacturing. Finally, there are more than 39,000 Ukrainian-Americans in Michigan, and I am praying for them and their families. Putin’s invasion will cause massive destruction and endanger their loved ones. I stand ready to work across the aisle in Congress to pass sanctions on Russia and support Ukraine diplomatically during this dark hour.”
