The United States and many countries around the world have condemned Russia's unprecedented military aggression as unprovoked and unjustified. On March 2, 2022, the U.N. General Assembly voted 141-5 to demand Russia immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw from Ukraine (47 countries, including China and India, abstained or did not vote). After Russia launched its 2022 war, the United States, the European Union (EU), and others substantially increased military, humanitarian, and economic assistance to Ukraine and imposed a series of increasingly severe sanctions on Russia. In addition, hundreds of U.S. and other companies have withdrawn, suspended, or curtailed operations in or with Russia. Congress has provided substantial financial support for Ukraine and has supported sanctions and related measures against Russia. The Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 (USAA; P.L. 117-103, Div. N) and the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 (AUSAA; P.L. 117-128) include almost $54 billion in assistance for Ukraine and countries impacted by the situation in Ukraine, direct support of U.S. military operations in Europe, and support of U.S. government agency responses to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Congress also has passed legislation prohibiting the import to the United States of Russian oil and other energy products (P.L. 117-109), suspending normal trade relations with Russia and its ally Belarus (P.L. 117-110), and enabling the expedited leasing or lending of U.S. defense articles to Ukraine (P.L. 117-118). In addition, the House has passed the Ukraine Invasion War Crimes Deterrence and Accountability Act (H.R. 7276), which would direct the President to submit a report to Congress on efforts to collect evidence related to war crimes and other atrocities. The House and Senate have passed related resolutions (H.Res. 956, S.Res. 546). U.S. Sanctions Prior to Russia's renewed invasion of Ukraine, the United States had imposed sanctions on Russia in response to its 2014 invasion of Ukraine and other malign activities (see CRS Report R45415, U.S. Sanctions on Russia). Beginning in December 2021, the United States and others warned Russia's Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN11869 CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
