Designating the Russian Federation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism Act

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill requires the Secretary of State, within 60 days after the law takes effect, to report to Congress on whether Ukrainian children taken from Ukraine since February 2022 have been reunited with their families and are being reintegrated into Ukrainian society, and whether Russia has stopped attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine and Europe. If the Secretary cannot certify all of these things, the Secretary must immediately designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism under existing laws. The Secretary may remove the designation 45 days after certifying that Russia has not supported international terrorism for three months, has given assurances it will not do so, and that the children have been returned and are being reintegrated. The bill also blocks frozen Russian government assets from being used to pay U.S. court judgments against Russia that arise from the designation.
