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.
Bill 119 hr 2548, also known as the "Russian Federation Sanctions Act," aims to impose sanctions and other measures on the Russian Federation if they refuse to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine, violate any such agreement, or initiate another military invasion of Ukraine. The bill is designed to hold the Russian government accountable for their actions in Ukraine and to deter further aggression.

If the Russian government fails to comply with the terms outlined in the bill, the United States will impose sanctions on key sectors of the Russian economy, including energy, defense, and finance. These sanctions are intended to put pressure on the Russian government to engage in peaceful negotiations with Ukraine and to respect any agreements that are reached.

In addition to sanctions, the bill also includes provisions for increased military assistance to Ukraine and support for NATO allies in the region. This is meant to bolster Ukraine's ability to defend itself against further Russian aggression and to demonstrate the United States' commitment to the security of its allies in Eastern Europe. Overall, the Russian Federation Sanctions Act is a proactive measure aimed at deterring Russian aggression in Ukraine and promoting stability in the region. It sends a clear message to the Russian government that continued aggression will not be tolerated and that there will be consequences for their actions.
