PORTLAND, Maine–Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) released the following statement in support of new sanctions against Russia announced by President Joe Biden: 

“President Biden’s new imposition of overwhelming sanctions on Russia is merited. Vladimir Putin, his circle of oligarch enablers, and the Russian economy must be punished for invading the sovereign democracy of Ukraine. Russia is now a rogue state and the terror inflicted on innocent Ukrainians will be on Russia’s shoulders alone. America must now stand united with our allies and partners in opposing Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. The people of Ukraine must know that the United States stands with them during this devastating time.”
