BLOCK PUTIN Act

This bill would require the President to impose sanctions on senior Hungarian government officials who block or delay financial or security aid to Ukraine, or who approve or keep facilitating oil or natural gas imports from Russia. The sanctions would freeze their property in the United States and bar them from getting U.S. visas or entering the country. Sanctions would not apply if Hungary adopts a plan to end its dependence on Russian oil and gas and stops blocking aid to Ukraine for at least 180 days, and the President could waive them for up to 180 days. The bill also requires the Treasury and State Departments to report to Congress on any U.S. government actions that have helped Hungary buy Russian oil and gas.
