Johnson Statement on Sanctions Against Russia

OSHKOSH — Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said this following the Obama administration’s announcement of measures against Russia:

“Post-Cold War Russia has taken a dark turn under Vladimir Putin. He is emboldened by weakness and inaction. The United States must begin to deal with Russia from a position of strength, which the outgoing administration has failed to do for the past eight years. While today’s actions may be a step in the right direction, they cannot undo the harm caused by this administration’s weakness and its feckless foreign policy.”
