Bill Summary

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 This Bill 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.
