Designating the Russian Federation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism Act

This bill would require the Secretary of State, within 60 days after the law takes effect, to report to Congress on whether Ukrainian children taken from Ukraine or occupied Ukrainian territory since February 2022 have been reunited with their families or guardians and whether their reintegration into Ukrainian society is underway. If the Secretary cannot certify both, the Secretary must immediately designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism under several existing laws. The Secretary could later remove the designation 45 days after certifying that Russia has not supported international terrorism for 3 months, has given assurances it will not do so in the future, and that all such children have been reunited and their reintegration is underway.
