What this bill would do

The Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 aims to impose significant sanctions and economic measures against the Russian Federation. These measures are triggered if the Russian government refuses to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine, violates an existing peace agreement, or initiates a new military invasion. The bill targets various Russian officials, financial institutions, and economic sectors such as energy and uranium. It includes prohibitions on fund transfers, investments, and the trading of securities on United States exchanges. Additionally, it mandates high duties on various imports from Russia and countries dealing in Russian-origin products. The goal is to provide a deterrent through maximum economic pressure.
