Plain-English Summary

This bill would officially designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, a legal classification that would trigger automatic economic sanctions and restrictions on U.S. aid, military sales, and financial transactions with the country. The designation would also require the State Department to report regularly to Congress on Russia's terrorist activities and could affect diplomatic relations and international trade. This would be a significant escalation in U.S. policy toward Russia beyond current sanctions.
