What this bill would do

The "Sanction Russian Nuclear Safety Violators Act of 2025" authorizes the President to impose sanctions on foreign persons who have endangered the safety or integrity of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Congress notes that Russian forces have occupied the plant and that the presence of Rosatom officials poses safety concerns. Sanctions include blocking assets and prohibiting entry into the United States. The bill also provides specific exceptions for humanitarian aid and certain international obligations.
