Russia is a State Sponsor of Terrorism Act

This bill would treat Russia as a country whose government has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism, starting when the bill becomes law, for purposes of export control, foreign aid, arms export, and other federal laws. It states that it does not allow sanctions on people who export farm products from Ukraine or provide humanitarian aid in Ukraine. The designation would end when the Secretary of State determines that Russia and Ukraine have entered negotiations to end the conflict, or after 5 years, whichever comes first. Frozen Russian government assets could not be seized to pay court judgments tied to this designation, and the executive branch would keep authority to manage or transfer those assets, including to support Ukraine.
