AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill states that the United States will not recognize Russia's claim of sovereignty over, or the independence of, any part of Ukraine occupied by Russian forces, including Crimea and the Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. It bars federal funds from being used to assist the central government of any country that the Secretary of State finds has recognized or set up diplomatic relations with these occupied regions, or has taken steps to support Russia's annexation of Ukrainian territory. The Secretary of State must publish a list of those governments on the State Department website. The Secretary may waive the funding ban for a country by reporting to Congress that doing so is in the U.S. national interest and giving a justification.
