Countries supporting Russia's claims on Ukraine would lose U.S. aid.
This bill would make it official U.S. policy not to recognize Russia's claims over parts of Ukraine. It would also stop federal money from going to countries whose governments recognize these Russian claims or support Russia's takeover of Ukrainian land. This means some foreign governments could lose U.S. assistance.
Today, there is no specific federal law that stops the U.S. from giving aid to countries that recognize Russia's claims over Ukrainian land. If this bill passes, the U.S. would officially state it does not recognize Russia's claims. Also, federal money would no longer go to central governments of countries that recognize these claims or support Russia's annexation, unless an exception is made by the Secretary of State.
