Requires Russia to return kidnapped Ukrainian children or face terrorism designation.
This bill would make the Secretary of State check if Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia since February 2022 have been returned to their families. If not, Russia would be immediately labeled a state sponsor of terrorism. This designation would trigger existing US sanctions against Russia.
Today, the Russian Federation is not designated as a state sponsor of terrorism, even though Ukrainian children have been kidnapped since February 2022. After this bill, the Secretary of State would have 60 days to report on the reunification of these children. If they are not reunited and reintegrated, Russia would be immediately designated a state sponsor of terrorism, triggering existing US sanctions.
