This legislation establishes a clear and unequivocal United States policy regarding the Russian Federation's claim of sovereignty over Crimea, its airspace, and territorial waters. The bill explicitly states that the U.S. Government will not recognize Russia's asserted control over these territories. Furthermore, it prohibits any Federal department or agency from engaging in actions or providing assistance that could be interpreted as implying recognition of Russia's sovereignty. This measure aims to codify the long-standing U.S. position against the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, reinforcing the principle of territorial integrity.
