The best move Congress can make to help Ukraine is to stop Europe from funding both sides of the Russo–Ukrainian conflict by unleashing the power of American energy to save the Old Continent from Russian dependence.
Since the start of the war in February 2022, purchases by European Union countries have accounted for roughly $225 billion of Russia’s $916 billion in energy exports. China, Turkey, and India purchased most of the remainder, providing Putin with an economic lifeline. To put those numbers in perspective, Russia is estimated to have directly spent $250 billion on the war so far.
