Justice for Ukrainian Children Act

The Justice for Ukrainian Children Act directs the U.S. government to support efforts to locate and rescue Ukrainian children forcibly transferred by Russia, while imposing mandatory sanctions on foreign individuals who facilitate these transfers. The bill authorizes at least $15 million annually from fiscal years 2027 through 2032 to fund evidence collection, maintain a centralized database, and assist in the rehabilitation of affected children. It requires the President to block the assets and revoke the visas of any foreign person found to have knowingly participated in the abduction or indoctrination of Ukrainian minors, with limited exceptions for humanitarian aid and national security needs. Additionally, the legislation allocates $10 million annually to expand U.S. media broadcasting services in Ukraine and neighboring regions to counter disinformation.
