Bill > HR2913

This bill, the "Ukraine Support Act," aims to provide comprehensive support to Ukraine and impose further sanctions on Russia. It reaffirms the United States' commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, condemns Russia's actions, including the kidnapping of Ukrainian children, and emphasizes the importance of NATO. The bill authorizes various forms of assistance, including security assistance through lend-lease authority and foreign military financing, and establishes programs to bolster Ukraine's economic recovery through initiatives like war risk insurance and a dedicated reconstruction trust fund. It also seeks to counter Russian disinformation and strengthen U.S.-European nuclear energy cooperation to reduce reliance on Russia. A significant portion of the bill focuses on imposing a wide range of sanctions on Russia, including those targeting its financial institutions, oil and mining industry, government officials, and entities involved in specific activities like the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant or the construction of tunnels to Crimea. It also introduces new sanctions related to Russia-North Korea cooperation, the kidnapping of Ukrainian children, and dual-use export controls. Furthermore, the bill mandates increased duties on goods and services imported from Russia and aims to close loopholes in Russian energy import bans. Finally, it establishes a framework for congressional review of any proposed changes to these sanctions.
