Track every piece of Ukraine-related legislation as it moves through Congress.
Provides a pathway to lawful permanent residency for Ukrainians who fled Russia's war and have been residing in the United States since February 24, 2022. This is the single most important piece of legislation for Ukrainian-Americans. It protects hundreds of thousands of displaced Ukrainians from deportation and gives them a stable future in the U.S.
Why it matters: Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone -- this is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainian-Americans.
Accelerates U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity to reduce European dependence on Russian energy. By expanding American LNG exports to European allies, this bill directly undermines Russia's ability to use energy as a geopolitical weapon against Ukraine and NATO partners.
Why it matters: Every LNG terminal that comes online reduces Europe's dependence on Russian gas -- this bill accelerates that transition, directly cutting the energy revenue that funds Russia's war machine and strengthening NATO's energy security.
Provides immigration relief and legal protection for Ukrainian nationals who were lawfully present in the United States when Russia's full-scale invasion began. Ensures Ukrainians on temporary visas, student visas, or other non-immigrant status cannot be deported to an active war zone.
Why it matters: Thousands of Ukrainians on student visas, work visas, and other temporary status face deportation to an active war zone -- this bill provides immediate legal protection for Ukrainians who were lawfully present in the U.S. when the invasion began.
Senate companion to H.R. 2118. Provides immigration relief and legal protection for Ukrainian nationals who were lawfully present in the United States when Russia's full-scale invasion began. Ensures Ukrainians on temporary visas, student visas, or other non-immigrant status cannot be deported to an active war zone.
Why it matters: The Senate companion to H.R. 2118 -- together these bills ensure both chambers of Congress can act simultaneously to protect Ukrainians lawfully present in the U.S. from deportation to an active war zone.
Comprehensive legislation authorizing sanctions against Russia, military and security assistance to Ukraine, intelligence sharing, lend-lease authority, and trade preferences. Covers 9 committee jurisdictions including Foreign Affairs, Armed Services, Intelligence, and Ways and Means.
Why it matters: This omnibus bill is the most comprehensive Ukraine support package in the 119th Congress, combining military aid, sanctions, intelligence sharing, and trade tools into a single legislative vehicle that would dramatically strengthen Ukraine's ability to defend itself.
Amends the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act to improve the implementation of the seizure of Russian sovereign assets for Ukraine's reconstruction. Provides a legal and practical pathway to repurpose frozen Russian assets.
Why it matters: Russia has over $300 billion in frozen sovereign assets -- this bill creates the legal mechanism to seize and transfer those funds to Ukraine for reconstruction, making Russia pay for the damage it caused rather than U.S. taxpayers.
Bipartisan Senate package authorizing weapons sales to NATO allies for transfer to Ukraine, holding corrupt Russian officials accountable, and strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities through allied coordination.
Why it matters: This bipartisan Senate bill enables NATO allies to transfer weapons to Ukraine faster by streamlining U.S. arms sales approvals, directly accelerating the flow of critical defense equipment to the front lines.
House companion to S. 2918. Led by Congressional Ukraine Caucus Co-Chair Joe Wilson and bipartisan coalition. Amends the REPO Act to enable seizure and transfer of Russian sovereign assets to support Ukraine's defense and reconstruction.
Why it matters: The House companion to the Senate REPO Act, this bipartisan bill ensures both chambers can move simultaneously to unlock frozen Russian assets for Ukraine's reconstruction and defense.
Resolution reaffirming the United States' unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's ongoing aggression.
Why it matters: A formal congressional declaration that the U.S. stands with Ukraine sends an unmistakable signal to both Kyiv and Moscow that American support is not contingent on any single administration's position.
Signed into law December 18, 2025. Includes $800 million for Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative over two years, extends lend-lease authority, and maintains bipartisan defense support for Ukraine. Nearly $1 trillion total defense bill.
Why it matters: Already signed into law, this bill locked in $800 million for Ukraine's security and extended lend-lease authority -- a concrete win that Ukrainian-American advocates helped secure through sustained congressional pressure.
Imposes severe penalties on Russia if the President determines Russia refuses to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine, violates a negotiated peace, initiates another invasion, or seeks to overthrow the Ukrainian government. Requires 500% tariffs on Russian goods, visa bans on Russian officials, and financial sanctions on Russian banks.
Why it matters: With 153 cosponsors, this bill creates powerful automatic consequences if Russia refuses a just peace -- it transforms the threat of sanctions from a diplomatic talking point into a legally binding deterrent.
Senate companion to H.R. 2548. Led by Sen. Lindsey Graham with 84 cosponsors. Imposes sweeping sanctions on Russia contingent on refusal to negotiate a just peace with Ukraine. One of the most cosponsored Ukraine-related bills in the 119th Congress.
Why it matters: With 84 Senate cosponsors -- nearly a supermajority -- this bill represents the strongest bipartisan consensus in the Senate for holding Russia accountable if it refuses to negotiate a just peace with Ukraine.
Reestablishes lend-lease authority for Ukraine's defense, modeled on the historic World War II Lend-Lease Act. Allows the United States to lend or lease defense equipment to Ukraine without the lengthy procurement process, enabling faster delivery of critical military supplies.
Why it matters: Lend-lease allows the U.S. to deliver weapons to Ukraine at the speed of war rather than the speed of procurement -- this bill revives a proven World War II-era tool that could be decisive in Ukraine's defense.
Codifies U.S. non-recognition of Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts. Prohibits U.S. government officials from recognizing or taking actions that imply recognition of Russian sovereignty over these territories.
Why it matters: Any peace deal that implicitly recognizes Russian sovereignty over occupied Ukrainian territories would legitimize conquest by force -- this bill ensures U.S. law never allows that to happen.
Formally recognizes Russia's systematic killing, deportation, and cultural erasure of Ukrainians as genocide under international law. Calls on the U.S. government to officially designate Russia's actions as genocide and to support international accountability mechanisms.
Why it matters: Official U.S. recognition of genocide carries profound legal and moral weight -- it obligates the U.S. to support accountability mechanisms and prevents any future administration from minimizing or normalizing Russia's systematic atrocities against Ukrainians.
Senate resolution acknowledging the fourth anniversary of Russia's illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Reaffirms U.S. commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, and calls for continued support for Ukraine's defense.
Why it matters: On the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion, this Senate resolution reaffirms that U.S. support for Ukraine's sovereignty is a bipartisan commitment, not a partisan position -- a critical message as peace negotiations loom.
Addresses Temporary Protected Status designations including Ukraine. Ukraine's TPS was extended for 18 months through October 19, 2026, but legislative codification would provide more permanent protection for displaced Ukrainians.
Why it matters: Ukraine's TPS designation expires in October 2026 -- legislative codification would give displaced Ukrainians stable, long-term protection that cannot be revoked by executive action alone.
Prohibits the President from entering into or implementing any peace agreement with Russia regarding Ukraine unless the agreement meets specific conditions protecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Ensures any negotiated settlement preserves Ukraine's right to self-defense and does not reward Russian aggression.
Why it matters: This bill prevents the U.S. from endorsing or facilitating any peace deal that rewards Russian aggression -- ensuring that any settlement preserves Ukraine's sovereignty and right to self-defense rather than locking in Russian territorial gains.
Establishes a comprehensive U.S. policy to recover Ukrainian children forcibly deported to Russia and Russian-occupied territories. Authorizes sanctions against Russian officials responsible for child deportations, funds international recovery efforts, and creates a special envoy for abducted Ukrainian children.
Why it matters: Russia has forcibly deported over 19,000 documented Ukrainian children to Russia -- this bill creates the first dedicated U.S. legal and diplomatic framework to locate, document, and bring them home.
House resolution calling for the return of all abducted Ukrainian children as a precondition before finalizing any peace agreement to end Russia's war against Ukraine. Recognizes the forced deportation of Ukrainian children as a war crime and demands Russia's full compliance with international law.
Why it matters: With 33 cosponsors, this resolution establishes a firm U.S. position that no peace agreement will be endorsed while over 19,000 abducted Ukrainian children remain in Russian custody -- making child return a non-negotiable condition.
Senate companion resolution to H.Res. 564. Calls for the return of all abducted Ukrainian children before the U.S. endorses or facilitates any peace agreement with Russia. Affirms that child deportations constitute a war crime under international law.
Why it matters: The Senate companion to H.Res. 564 with 28 cosponsors, this resolution ensures both chambers of Congress are unified in demanding the return of abducted Ukrainian children before any peace deal is finalized.
Requires the Secretary of State to designate the Russian Federation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, triggering sweeping restrictions on U.S. assistance, arms sales, and financial transactions with Russia. Would be the most powerful diplomatic tool available to isolate Russia internationally.
Why it matters: Designating Russia as a State Sponsor of Terrorism would place it alongside Iran and North Korea, triggering automatic sweeping sanctions and making it legally impossible for the U.S. to provide any assistance to Russia.
House companion to S. 2978. Directs the Secretary of State to designate Russia as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, placing Russia in the same category as Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Syria. This designation would trigger automatic sanctions and restrictions on U.S.-Russia relations.
Why it matters: The House companion to the Senate SST designation bill, this ensures both chambers can act simultaneously to impose the most severe diplomatic isolation available under U.S. law on Russia.
Imposes targeted sanctions on Russia's so-called 'shadow fleet', the network of tankers and shipping companies that covertly transport Russian oil in violation of Western price caps and sanctions. Targets vessel owners, operators, insurers, and port operators who facilitate shadow fleet operations.
Why it matters: Russia earns billions from its shadow fleet circumventing Western oil sanctions -- this bill targets the tankers, insurers, and port operators that keep Russian oil money flowing to fund the war against Ukraine.
Prohibits U.S. foreign assistance, Export-Import Bank financing, and other government support from benefiting Russian energy projects or companies. Closes loopholes that allow U.S. taxpayer funds to indirectly support Russia's energy sector, which funds the war against Ukraine.
Why it matters: U.S. taxpayer funds should never indirectly subsidize Russia's energy sector -- this bill closes the loopholes that allow American foreign assistance to benefit Russian energy companies that fund the war.
Closes the loophole that allows Russian oil to enter the U.S. market after being refined or blended in third countries such as India, Turkey, and China. Requires country-of-origin tracking for all petroleum products and bans imports that contain Russian-origin crude oil.
Why it matters: Russian oil refined in India or Turkey and then imported to the U.S. is still Russian oil -- this bill closes the country-of-origin loophole that allows Russia to profit from American consumers even under sanctions.
Imposes sweeping sanctions and other measures on Russia if the Russian Federation refuses to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine in good faith. Includes energy import bans, financial sanctions, and secondary sanctions on countries that continue to trade with Russia.
Why it matters: This bill creates automatic, severe consequences -- energy bans, financial sanctions, secondary sanctions -- if Russia refuses good-faith peace negotiations, giving Ukraine powerful diplomatic leverage.
Imposes sanctions on foreign persons dealing in crude oil or petroleum products of Russian Federation origin. Targets third-country buyers, refiners, and shippers who purchase Russian oil above the G7 price cap, cutting off Russia's primary source of war revenue.
Why it matters: Russia earns an estimated $700 million per day from oil exports -- secondary sanctions on third-country buyers who exceed the G7 price cap would cut off this primary source of war funding at its root.
Senate companion to H.R. 7506. Imposes secondary sanctions on foreign entities that purchase Russian crude oil or petroleum products above the G7 price cap. Strengthens enforcement of existing oil price caps and closes loopholes exploited by Russia's shadow fleet.
Why it matters: The Senate companion to H.R. 7506, this bill strengthens enforcement of the G7 oil price cap and closes shadow fleet loopholes -- cutting off the revenue stream that directly funds Russia's missiles and drones targeting Ukrainian civilians.
Establishes an independent Inspector General to oversee U.S. assistance to Ukraine, ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of American aid funds. Requires regular audits and public reporting on reconstruction spending.
Why it matters: Independent oversight of U.S. aid to Ukraine builds the bipartisan trust needed to sustain long-term support -- this bill ensures every dollar is accounted for and strengthens the political case for continued assistance.
Senate companion to H.R. 1968. Establishes oversight mechanisms for U.S. security assistance to Ukraine, including an Inspector General and quarterly reporting requirements to Congress.
Why it matters: Senate oversight legislation ensures that U.S. security assistance to Ukraine is subject to rigorous accountability, making it harder for critics to question the effectiveness of American support.
Authorizes the President to confiscate and transfer to Ukraine all Russian sovereign assets frozen in the United States, estimated at over $5 billion. Complements the REPO Act by providing direct U.S. authority to act on frozen assets.
Why it matters: The U.S. holds over $5 billion in frozen Russian sovereign assets -- this bill gives the President direct authority to confiscate and transfer those funds to Ukraine, making Russia pay for its own war crimes.
Provides $14.3 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations for Ukraine security assistance, including military equipment, ammunition, and intelligence support. Offsets costs through reallocation of unspent foreign aid funds.
Why it matters: Ukraine needs $14.3 billion in emergency military assistance now -- this appropriations bill would immediately replenish depleted U.S. stockpiles and deliver critical ammunition and equipment to Ukrainian forces.
Reaffirms U.S. commitment to NATO's Article 5 collective defense clause and prohibits the President from withdrawing from NATO without Senate approval. Includes provisions strengthening NATO's eastern flank defenses.
Why it matters: NATO's collective defense guarantee is the ultimate security backstop for Ukraine's neighbors -- this bill ensures the U.S. cannot unilaterally abandon NATO, protecting the alliance that deters further Russian expansion.
Senate companion to H.R. 3421. Prohibits the use of funds to withdraw the U.S. from NATO without Senate approval and reaffirms U.S. commitment to collective defense obligations under Article 5.
Why it matters: The Senate companion to the NATO Solidarity Act, this bill with 31 cosponsors ensures that U.S. commitment to collective defense is codified in law and cannot be reversed by executive action alone.
Establishes a U.S. policy of supporting international accountability for war crimes committed in Ukraine. Authorizes funding for the International Criminal Court's Ukraine investigations and creates a special envoy for Ukraine war crimes accountability.
Why it matters: Without accountability, atrocities repeat -- this bill funds ICC investigations into Russian war crimes in Ukraine and creates a dedicated U.S. envoy to ensure perpetrators face justice regardless of how the war ends.
Senate companion to H.R. 4102. Supports international accountability for Russian war crimes in Ukraine, including ICC investigations, and creates a special envoy position within the State Department.
Why it matters: The Senate companion to the war crimes accountability bill, this legislation ensures the U.S. maintains a dedicated diplomatic presence focused on prosecuting Russian commanders and officials responsible for crimes against Ukrainian civilians.
Authorizes U.S. diplomatic and financial support for efforts to locate, document, and facilitate the return of Ukrainian children forcibly deported to Russia. Establishes a task force within the State Department and provides funding for NGOs working on child recovery.
Why it matters: With 34 bipartisan cosponsors, this bill funds the State Department task force and NGOs working to locate and return the over 19,000 Ukrainian children forcibly taken to Russia -- a humanitarian crisis with no precedent since World War II.
Senate companion to H.R. 4789. Directs the State Department to prioritize diplomatic efforts to secure the return of Ukrainian children forcibly deported by Russia, and authorizes $50 million for international organizations working on child recovery.
Why it matters: The Senate companion to the Protect Ukrainian Children Act, this bill authorizes $50 million for international organizations working to recover abducted children -- a direct investment in the most vulnerable victims of Russia's war.
Authorizes U.S. assistance to help Ukraine rebuild and protect its energy infrastructure from Russian attacks. Provides funding for mobile power generation, grid hardening, and cybersecurity for Ukrainian energy systems.
Why it matters: Russia deliberately targets Ukraine's power grid to freeze civilians in winter -- this bill funds mobile generators, grid hardening, and cybersecurity to keep Ukrainian homes heated and hospitals running under attack.
Senate companion to H.R. 5112. Directs U.S. assistance to rebuild Ukraine's energy infrastructure, including power plants, transmission lines, and heating systems damaged or destroyed by Russian missile and drone attacks.
Why it matters: The Senate companion to the Ukraine Energy Resilience Act, this bill directs U.S. assistance to rebuild Ukraine's power plants, transmission lines, and heating systems that Russia has systematically destroyed with missile and drone attacks.
Authorizes additional funding for democracy promotion programs in Ukraine, including support for civil society organizations, independent media, anti-corruption efforts, and rule of law initiatives.
Why it matters: A free, independent press and strong civil society are Ukraine's long-term defense against Russian disinformation and authoritarian backsliding -- this bill invests in the democratic institutions that will determine Ukraine's future after the war.
Establishes a framework for U.S.-Ukraine economic partnership focused on critical minerals, including titanium, lithium, and rare earth elements. Creates incentives for U.S. companies to invest in Ukrainian mineral extraction and processing.
Why it matters: Ukraine holds some of the world's largest deposits of titanium, lithium, and rare earths -- this bill creates U.S.-Ukraine economic partnerships that give American companies a stake in Ukraine's reconstruction and reduce U.S. dependence on Chinese critical minerals.
Establishes a comprehensive U.S.-Ukraine strategic partnership framework covering defense, economic reconstruction, critical minerals, and democratic governance. Includes provisions for long-term security commitments and economic investment.
Why it matters: A comprehensive U.S.-Ukraine strategic partnership codified in law would provide the long-term security and economic framework that Ukraine needs to rebuild and deter future Russian aggression beyond any single administration's tenure.
Provides additional resources for resettlement agencies assisting Ukrainian refugees in the United States. Increases funding for English language training, job placement, and mental health services for displaced Ukrainians.
Why it matters: Over 200,000 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in the U.S. since 2022 -- this bill funds the English classes, job placement, and mental health services that help them become self-sufficient members of their communities.
