Introduced·3/26/26

BLOCK PUTIN Act imposes sanctions on Hungarian officials obstructing Ukraine aid and reliant on Russian energy.

The BLOCK PUTIN Act aims to discourage Hungary's reliance on Russian energy and its obstruction of financial and security assistance to Ukraine. It mandates sanctions against Hungarian officials who block aid to Ukraine or continue to import Russian oil and gas. The President must impose these sanctions every 180 days unless Hungary adopts a plan to end its dependency on Russian energy and stops obstructing aid to Ukraine. The Act also requires a report on any U.S. facilitation of Hungarian purchases of Russian oil and gas.
