H.R. 2548: Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025
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, transforming the threat of sanctions from a diplomatic talking point into a legally binding deterrent.
