Several GOP House members voted against a bill to document and preserve Russian war crimes during invasion of Ukraine

Several Republican lawmakers in the House voted against a bill to document and preserve information on Russian war crimes committed during its invasion of Ukraine.

The bill, introduced in the House on March 29 and sponsored by GOP Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, aims to "direct the President to submit to Congress a report on United States Government efforts to collect, analyze, and preserve evidence and information related to war crimes and any other atrocities committed during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine since February 24, 2022."

The bill, titled The Ukraine Invasion War Crimes Deterrence and Accountability Act, asserts that Russian forces have intentionally attacked civilians and non-military buildings, engaged in unnecessary wanton destruction of property, and unlawfully deported civilians and taken hostages.

There were 418 yes votes and 4 lawmakers who abstained. Reps. Tom Massie of Kentucky, Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio, and Reps. Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar of Arizona, and Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming voted against the bill.

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming also voted against the bill on Wednesday, but a spokesperson for Cheney told The Hill that Cheney's nay vote was a mistake and that she will inform the House clerk that she meant to vote in approval of the bill.
