To prohibit the use of Federal funds to support or facilitate the participation of the Russian Federation in the Group of Seven, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 hr 295, also known as the "Prohibition of Russian Federation Participation in the Group of Seven Act," aims to prevent the use of Federal funds to support or facilitate the involvement of the Russian Federation in the Group of Seven (G7) meetings. The G7 is an international organization consisting of the world's major advanced economies, including the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

The bill seeks to exclude Russia from participating in G7 meetings due to concerns about Russia's actions on the international stage, including its annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its involvement in conflicts in Ukraine and Syria. The bill also aims to hold Russia accountable for its interference in the 2016 US presidential election and other instances of cyber aggression.

If passed, the bill would prohibit the use of Federal funds to support Russia's participation in the G7, including funding for travel expenses, accommodations, and other related costs. The bill also includes provisions for reporting requirements to ensure compliance with the prohibition. Overall, the bill reflects a bipartisan effort to address concerns about Russia's behavior and to uphold the principles of democracy and international cooperation within the G7. It underscores the importance of holding Russia accountable for its actions and promoting a united front among the world's major economies.
