What this bill would do

The "No Aid for Russian Energy Act" aims to prohibit United States persons from providing petroleum equipment or services to the Russian Federation. This prohibition includes direct or indirect supply of equipment, software, and various engineering or consulting services. The bill also targets entities owned or controlled by U.S. persons operating outside the country. To enforce these rules, the President is authorized to impose sanctions on foreign persons who violate these terms. These sanctions can include asset blocking and the revocation of visas or entry documentation. Certain exceptions are carved out for specific medical, agricultural, or humanitarian purposes.
