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, registered abstentions or did not vote). In response to Russian efforts to annex additional Ukrainian territories in fall 2022, the General Assembly declared by a vote of 143-5 that Russia's actions had no validity under international law. The United States, the European Union (EU), and others have imposed a series of increasingly severe sanctions on Russia and substantially increased security, humanitarian, and economic assistance to Ukraine. FY2022 and FY2023 supplemental appropriations to date have included $66 billion in emergency assistance for Ukraine and other countries impacted by the war, as well as funding for U.S. European Command and other U.S. agency operations. In response to a request by the President, the proposed FY2023 omnibus appropriations bill includes about $45 billion in Ukraine-related supplemental funds. Congress also has enacted legislation enabling the expedited leasing or lending of defense articles to Ukraine (P.L. 117-118). The House and the 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
