Make Russia Pay Act

Bill 117 HR 7083, also known as the Make Russia Pay Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of holding Russia accountable for its aggressive actions on the international stage. The bill seeks to impose a series of sanctions on Russia in response to its interference in the 2016 US presidential election, its annexation of Crimea, and its support for separatist movements in Ukraine.

Specifically, the Make Russia Pay Act calls for the imposition of additional economic sanctions on Russian individuals and entities involved in these activities. It also seeks to restrict Russia's access to US financial markets and technology, as well as limit its ability to conduct business with US companies.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for increased support to Ukraine, including military assistance and training, in order to help the country defend itself against Russian aggression. It also calls for the US to work with its allies to coordinate a unified response to Russian aggression and to promote democracy and human rights in the region. Overall, the Make Russia Pay Act represents a bipartisan effort to hold Russia accountable for its actions and to protect US interests and those of its allies in the face of Russian aggression. The bill is currently being debated in Congress, with supporters arguing that it is necessary to send a strong message to Russia, while opponents raise concerns about the potential impact of the sanctions on US businesses and the broader economy.
