Countering Russian Trafficking Act

This bill would require the President, within 180 days, to apply sanctions under an executive order on transnational criminal organizations and under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act to persons found to have taken part in or helped the transfer, deportation, indoctrination, or re-education of Ukrainian children. Covered persons could include Russian government agencies, Russian-run camps, entities of the Russian Orthodox Church, adoption and foster networks in occupied Ukraine, and people who profit from or support these activities. The President would have to give Congress an unclassified list of such persons within 120 days. The President would also have to respond within 120 days to requests from certain committee leaders about whether a specific foreign person meets the criteria.
