Washington, D.C. – Following a report in Time Magazine that a top adviser to Ukrainian President Zelensky said that Ukrainian officials are “stealing like there’s no tomorrow,” Congressman Josh Brecheen introduced the Stop Stealing Like There's No Tomorrow Act, which would require the Secretaries of State and Defense to report to Congress any Ukrainian government officials who have violated the End-Use Monitoring (EUM) agreements that were a prerequisite for Ukraine obtaining U.S. assistance. The legislation also prevents any Ukrainian officials guilty of violating EUM agreements from receiving visas, entering the U.S., and revokes the visas of any said officials who currently possess them. The Daily Caller’s Henry Rodgers wrote an exclusive report on the bill, which you can read here. “Ukraine has a long and documented history of corruption, so much so that a top adviser to Ukrainian President Zelensky even admitted it to a journalist. We have so far sent $113 billion to Ukraine and the Biden Administration wants to send them even more. This legislation is needed so that no more of Americans’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars are stolen by corrupt officials in Ukraine,” said Congressman Josh Brecheen. Original co-sponsors include: Representatives Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Ralph Norman (R-SC), and Randy Weber (R-TX). ###
