Deter Russian Aggression
Imposing stricter sanctions on Russian oil purchases directly tackles Russia's primary revenue source, weakening its ability to fund the war in Ukraine. This sends a clear message that aggressive actions will not be tolerated by the international community.
Protect National Security
A weakened Russia reduces threats to global stability and direct threats to U.S. allies. Sanctions align with long-term national security goals by degrading Russia's military and economic power.
Assert American Leadership
The U.S. must lead international efforts to hold adversaries accountable, demonstrating its power and commitment to democratic values. Bipartisan support for these measures strengthens America's global standing.
