WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Senator Andy Kim (D-N.J.) released the following statement after voting yes to increase pressure on Russia with new sanctions:
“I voted yes on this bill to intensify pressure on Russia to end their illegal and immoral war against Ukraine. This is a critical moment as Ukraine has been delivering heavy blows against Russian forces. I have deep concerns about the inclusion of tariffs and fought hard to remove them. Having worked in war zones, I know the complex challenges that arise; I felt this legislation still was important to help Ukraine win this war. This moment demands that we stand with Ukraine and stand up against Putin.”
