Passed Senate without amendment by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S2073-2074; text: CR S2073-2074)

2026-04-28

This bill would protect Americans from being sued in Russian courts by allowing the U.S. government to block or dismiss cases brought against American citizens, companies, or government officials in Russia's legal system. The measure aims to shield Americans from what supporters view as politically motivated lawsuits by the Russian government, particularly given current tensions between the two countries. It affects American businesses, travelers, diplomats, and military personnel who might otherwise face legal action in Russian courts.
