This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for imposing extensive sanctions on the Russian Federation, titled the "Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025." These sanctions are triggered if the President determines that Russia is refusing to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine, violating an existing agreement, or initiating another military invasion of Ukraine. The legislation asserts that Russia should face maximum sanctions for such actions and that the United States should provide sustainable security assistance to Ukraine to ensure its credible defensive and deterrent capabilities. The bill mandates sanctions against a broad range of Russian entities and individuals. This includes top Russian government officials , such as the President, Prime Minister, various ministers, military commanders, and intelligence chiefs. Sanctions also target foreign persons who knowingly support the Russian Armed Forces, operate in key Russian economic sectors like energy or banking, or engage in activities that undermine Ukraine's military readiness, critical infrastructure, or democratic processes. Key provisions include the blocking of property and interests of sanctioned persons and entities within U.S. jurisdiction. Financial institutions affiliated with the Russian government, including the Central Bank, Sberbank, and VTB Bank, face severe restrictions, such as prohibitions on correspondent and payable-through accounts. The bill also bans U.S. financial institutions from investing in Russian government-controlled entities or its Armed Forces, and prohibits the export of U.S. energy products to Russia. Further measures include a prohibition on the listing or trading of Russian entities on U.S. securities exchanges and a ban on U.S. persons purchasing Russian sovereign debt. The bill also mandates a prohibition on importing uranium from Russia and imposes significant duty increases on all goods and services from Russia, including energy products, to a rate of not less than 500 percent ad valorem. Additionally, countries that knowingly purchase Russian-origin oil, uranium, or petroleum products may face increased duties on their imports to the U.S., with limited waiver authority. Sanctions can be terminated if Russia verifiably ceases aggressive acts and enters a peace agreement, but will be immediately reimposed if violations occur.
Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, Financial Services, Ways and Means, and Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
