Sanctions need to be imposed now. Sanctions must be strong. This is a tool the United States has to deprive Russia of its ability to finance the war against Ukraine every day. And honestly, sometimes I don’t understand why decisions can’t be made quickly. Because during a war, it is sometimes better to make a not-so-perfect decision than to do nothing. Decisions on sanctions, economic and energy restrictions against the Russian Federation, and curbs on the production of ballistic missiles and related weapons have to be made right away.
What are we waiting for? Why do we all talk about sanctions only when commenting on whether the U.S. Congress will support Lindsey Graham’s sanctions bill or not? Of course, the bill needs to be passed, with all due respect, first and foremost to Lindsey. He has devoted his life to defending American, European, and Ukrainian values. And this is a very important historical moment for the United States. The bill must be passed, voted on, and supported. Beyond that, strong decisions from the U.S. Administration are important. Personal decisions by President Trump. I very much hope we will see that.
