S 5119 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to codify in statute certain sanctions with respect to the Russian Federation.

This bill codifies existing U.S. sanctions against specific Russian entities into law, maintaining current restrictions imposed under nine executive orders (e.g., those targeting Russian aggression in Ukraine, energy pipelines, and harmful foreign activities). It directly affects Russian individuals and organizations listed under these orders, requiring ongoing sanctions unless terminated by the President. Key mechanisms include requiring presidential certification to Congress for termination (based on verified cessation of harmful activities) and establishing clear exceptions for agricultural goods, medicine, medical devices, and humanitarian aid. The bill ensures sanctions remain in effect without needing new executive actions, while preserving exemptions for essential humanitarian and international obligations.
