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). In response to Russian efforts to claim Ukrainian territory in fall 2022, the General Assembly declared by a vote of 143-5 that Russia's illegal so-called referendums and attempted illegal annexation of occupied Ukrainian regions have no validity under international law. After Russia launched its new invasion in 2022, the United States, the European Union (EU), and others imposed a series of increasingly severe sanctions on Russia and substantially increased military, humanitarian, and economic assistance to Ukraine. To date, FY2022 and FY2023 supplemental appropriations have included $66 billion in assistance for Ukraine and other affected countries, as well as funding for U.S. European Command operations and the administration and operations of U.S. agencies that have responded to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Congress also has enacted legislation enabling the expedited leasing or lending of defense articles to Ukraine (P.L. 117-118). The House and Senate have passed related resolutions (H.Res. 956, S.Res. 546, S.Res. 589, S.Res. 623). U.S. Sanctions Prior to 2022, the United States had imposed sanctions on Russia in response to Moscow's 2014 invasion of Ukraine and other malign activities. Beginning in December 2021, the United States and others warned Russia's leadership that a new attack on Ukraine would lead to severe new sanctions (in addition to increased security assistance to Ukraine and an enhanced NATO presence in Central and Eastern Europe). Sanctions designations and related actions the Biden Administration and Congress have taken since February 2022 include actions targeting Russian government assets, international trade, broad economic sectors, and specific individuals and entities. These sanctions and related actions include the following: Congressional Research Service https://crsreports. congress.gov IN11869 CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
