HR 5962 United States House · 119th Congress

To authorize the Department of Justice and the Department of State to provide law enforcement and intelligence technical assistance, training, capacity building, and advisory support to the Government of Ukraine to achieve the exchange of prisoners of war, the release of civilian detainees, and the return of forcibly transferred Ukrainian children, and for other purposes.

This bill authorizes the U.S. Department of Justice and Department of State to provide Ukraine with law enforcement technical assistance, training, and advisory support focused on recovering forcibly transferred Ukrainian children and addressing related abductions. Key provisions include training in biometric identification, open-source intelligence, and secure communications; medical and psychological rehabilitation services for affected children; and coordination with NGOs and Ukrainian authorities to investigate and prosecute cases. The assistance directly supports Ukraine’s government, child protection services, and the children themselves who were abducted or forcibly transferred by Russia. Reports to Congress detail funding, assistance types, and efforts to align international sanctions.
