Designating the Russian Federation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism Act
This bill requires the U.S. Secretary of State to certify within 60 days whether kidnapped Ukrainian children have been reunited with families and whether their reintegration into Ukrainian society is underway. If the Secretary cannot certify these actions, the bill mandates designating Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism under existing laws (including the Foreign Assistance Act and Arms Export Control Act). The designation would trigger automatic U.S. sanctions and restrictions on aid to Russia. Russia could later be removed from the list if it provides assurances against supporting terrorism and fully reunites all affected children with their families.
