From the OP's link to today's The Hill:
"The bipartisan legislation passed the lower chamber in a 418-7 vote, with all those in opposition belonging to the Republican Party.
Wednesday’s vote was not the first time Biggs, Greene and Massie opposed legislation responding to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Last month the trio voted against a bill to revoke normal trade relations with Russia, along with five other Republicans. The eight GOP members in opposition of the legislation have all worked to maintain close ties to former President Trump and have frequently found themselves in the far-right wing of the Republican Party."

418 to 7?
(actually 6, one vote cast in error, and will correct the count to 419 to 6)
Well, if one subscribes to the belief that American voters elect representatives to Congress to represent the views of their District......we must then draw the conclusion that about 98% of American voters want to see Putin and the Russian military held to account for war crimes in Ukraine.
