Bill Summary
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.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP]. I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 947, the Non-Recognition of Russian Annexation Act. Russia illegally annexed Crimea in 2014 and four more Ukrainian regions in 2022. H.R. 947 codifies U.S. non-recognition of those annexations into law, so no future administration can quietly change course without an act of Congress. Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 947? Thank you.

🇺🇦 300,000+ Ukrainians fled Putin's war & came here legally. Now they're in immigration limbo. The Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104) gives them a path forward. Call your rep: 202-224-3121 #UkrainianAdjustmentAct #HR3104 #StandWithUkraine
