The Hill: House Republican moves to force vote on 'crushing Russia sanctions' [View all]
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5617711-fitzpatrick-forces-vote-russia-sanctions/House Republican moves to force vote on ‘crushing Russia sanctions’ by Laura Kelly - 11/21/25 2:50 PM ET
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) on Friday said he has submitted a discharge petition to force a vote on bipartisan legislation imposing punishing sanctions on countries enabling Russia’s war against Ukraine.
The move comes as President Trump is putting intense pressure on Kyiv to accept a peace proposal widely criticized as favorable toward Moscow.
“This Russian-drafted propaganda must be rejected and disregarded for the unserious nonsense that it is,” Fitzpatrick wrote in a statement on the social platform X.
“Today, we have officially notified both the Clerk of the House and House leadership of our discharge petition to force a vote on crushing Russian sanctions immediately upon our return.”
