Justice for Ukrainian Children Act

This bill would authorize at least $15 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2032 to collect and preserve evidence about Ukrainian children transferred to Russia and to help locate, rescue, and rehabilitate them, including through a central evidence database. The State Department would have to report to Congress on this spending each year for five years. The President would be required to freeze U.S. property of, and deny U.S. visas to, foreign persons found to have knowingly taken part in the transfer, deportation, indoctrination, or militarization of Ukrainian children, with a national security waiver. The bill would also authorize at least $10 million per year for added Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Voice of America programming in Ukrainian, Balkan, Russian, and Tatar languages, and states a U.S. policy of vetoing U.N. Security Council resolutions that absolve Russia of accountability.
