HR 947 United States House · 119th Congress

Non-Recognition of Russian Annexation of Ukrainian Territory Act

This bill prohibits U.S. federal agencies from taking any action that implies recognition of Russia's claimed control over Ukrainian territory, including airspace and territorial waters. It mandates that no federal department or agency may extend assistance or take steps suggesting the U.S. accepts Russia's sovereignty claims over any part of Ukraine's internationally recognized borders. The law directly affects all federal agencies, requiring them to align their actions with the stated policy of non-recognition. It does not alter existing sanctions or aid programs but explicitly bars any official U.S. conduct that could be interpreted as validating Russia's annexation.
