Bill > HR4762

This bill prohibits the export of drugs and prosthetics to the Russian Federation, establishing a comprehensive sanctions measure targeting medical supplies. Specifically, the bill defines "drugs" as FDA-approved pharmaceutical products and their components, and "prosthetics" as medical devices that replace or improve body parts and are FDA-authorized, including their components and accessories. The prohibition is mandatory for the President to implement and will remain in effect until the Secretary of State certifies to Congress that Russia has completely withdrawn its military forces from Ukraine and ceased military operations in the country. By targeting medical exports, the bill aims to exert economic pressure on Russia in response to its military actions in Ukraine, using the restriction of critical medical supplies as a potential diplomatic and economic leverage tool. The bill provides clear definitions of the types of medical products covered by the export ban and sets a specific condition for lifting the sanctions, linking them directly to Russia's military conduct in Ukraine.
