US Lawmakers Propose Ukraine Support Act and New Sanctions on Russia
US lawmakers have introduced the Ukraine Support Act to enhance aid for Ukraine and implement new sanctions against Russia, complementing bipartisan calls for tougher measures if Russia fails to negotiate a lasting peace.

On April 14, 2025, Representative Greg Meeks introduced the Ukraine Support Act in the U.S. House of Representatives. The proposed legislation aims to bolster Ukraine amid its sustained conflict with Russia by providing critical security and reconstruction funding while outlining a framework for significant sanctions on Russia. This initiative comes amid wider bipartisan efforts, including a Senate proposal that would impose stricter measures if Russia refuses to engage in genuine peace negotiations.
The move reflects growing U.S. congressional support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and continued push for accountability in the international arena. Lawmakers are positioning the bill as part of a broader strategy to pressure Russia into pursuing negotiations while reinforcing Ukraine’s defense and recovery capabilities as the conflict endures.
