H.R. 5797: Designating russia as a State Sponsor of Terrorism Act (House)
russia has abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, yet the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism names only Cuba, Iran and North Korea. This bill would give the Secretary of State 60 days to certify that the children are back with their families and being reintegrated. Otherwise russia must be designated at once, automatically limiting U.S. aid, arms sales, exports and financial dealings. Lifting it would require all the children to be home and three months without support for terrorism. It matches the Senate bill S. 2978 as introduced.
