SEC. 211. <<NOTE: 22 USC 9501.>> FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On March 6, 2014, President Barack Obama issued 
        Executive Order No. 13660 (79 Fed. Reg. 13493; relating to 
        blocking property of certain persons contributing to the 
        situation in Ukraine), which authorizes the Secretary of the 
        Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to impose 
        sanctions on those determined to be undermining democratic 
        processes and institutions in Ukraine or threatening the peace, 
        security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of 
        Ukraine. President Obama subsequently issued Executive Order No. 
        13661 (79 Fed. Reg. 15535; relating to blocking property of 
        additional persons contributing to the situation in Ukraine) and

        blocking property of additional persons contributing to the 
        situation in Ukraine) to expand sanctions on certain persons 
        contributing to the situation in Ukraine.
            (2) On December 18, 2014, the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 
        2014 was enacted (Public Law 113-272; 22 U.S.C. 8921 et seq.), 
        which includes provisions directing the President to impose 
        sanctions on foreign persons that the President determines to be 
        entities owned or controlled by the Government

        that manufacture, sell, transfer, or otherwise provide certain

        of certain persons engaging in significant malicious cyber-

        President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 
        aimed at the United States presidential election.'' The 
        assessment warns that ``Moscow will apply lessons learned from 
        its Putin-ordered campaign aimed at the U.S. Presidential 
        election to future influence efforts worldwide, including 
        against U.S. allies and their election processes''.
SEC. 212. <<NOTE: 22 USC 9502.>> SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that the President--
            (1) should continue to uphold and seek unity with European 
        and other key partners on sanctions implemented against the 
        Russian Federation, which have been effective and instrumental 
        in countering Russian aggression in Ukraine;
            (2) should engage to the fullest extent possible with 
        partner governments with regard to closing loopholes, including 
        the allowance of extended prepayment for the delivery of goods

[[Page 131 STAT. 900]]

        and commodities and other loopholes, in multilateral and 
        unilateral restrictive measures against the Russian Federation, 
        with the aim of maximizing alignment of those measures; and
            (3) should increase efforts to vigorously enforce compliance 
        with sanctions in place as of the date of the enactment of this 
        Act with respect to the Russian Federation in response to the 
        crisis in eastern Ukraine, cyber intrusions and attacks, and 
        human rights violators in the Russian Federation.

     Subtitle B--Countering Russian Influence in Europe and Eurasia

SEC. 251. <<NOTE: 22 USC 9541.>> FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Government of the Russian Federation has sought to 
        exert influence throughout Europe and Eurasia, including in the 
        former states of the Soviet Union, by providing resources to 
        political parties, think tanks, and civil society groups that 
        sow distrust in democratic institutions and actors, promote 
        xenophobic and illiberal views, and otherwise undermine European 
        unity. The Government of the Russian Federation has also engaged 
        in well-documented corruption practices as a means toward 
        undermining and buying influence in European and Eurasian 
        countries.
            (2) The Government of the Russian Federation has largely 
        eliminated a once-vibrant Russian-language independent media 
        sector and severely curtails free and independent media within 
        the borders of the Russian Federation. Russian-language media 
        organizations that are funded and controlled by the Government 
        of the Russian Federation and disseminate information within and 
        outside of the Russian Federation routinely traffic in anti-
        Western disinformation, while few independent, fact-based media 
        sources provide objective reporting for Russian-speaking 
        audiences inside or outside of the Russian Federation.

[[Page 131 STAT. 926]]

            (3) The Government of the Russian Federation continues to 
        violate its commitments under the Memorandum on Security 
        Assurances in connection with Ukraine's Accession to the Treaty 
        on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at Budapest 
        December 5, 1994, and the Conference on Security and Co-
        operation in Europe Final Act, concluded at Helsinki August 1, 
        1975 (commonly referred to as the ``Helsinki Final Act''), which 
        laid the ground-work for the establishment of the Organization 
        for Security and Co-operation in Europe, of which the Russian 
        Federation is a member, by its illegal annexation of Crimea in 
        2014, its illegal occupation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in 
        Georgia in 2008, and its ongoing destabilizing activities in 
        eastern Ukraine.
            (4) The Government of the Russian Federation continues to 
        ignore the terms of the August 2008 ceasefire agreement relating 
        to Georgia, which requires the withdrawal of Russian Federation 
        troops, free access by humanitarian groups to the regions of 
        South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and monitoring of the conflict areas 
        by the European Union Monitoring Mission.
            (5) The Government of the Russian Federation is failing to 
        comply with the terms of the Minsk Agreement to address the 
        ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, signed in Minsk, Belarus, 
        on February 11, 2015, by the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, France, 
        and Germany, as well as the Minsk Protocol, which was agreed to 
        on September 5, 2014.
            (6) The Government of the Russian Federation is--
                    (A) in violation of the Treaty between the United 
                States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist 
                Republics on the Elimination of their Intermediate-Range 
                and Shorter-Range Missiles, signed at Washington 
                December 8, 1987, and entered into force June 1, 1988 
                (commonly known as the ``INF Treaty''); and
                    (B) failing to meet its obligations under the Treaty 
                on Open Skies, done at Helsinki March 24, 1992, and 
                entered into force January 1, 2002 (commonly known as 
                the ``Open Skies Treaty'').
SEC. 252. <<NOTE: 22 USC 9542.>> SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Government of the Russian Federation bears 
        responsibility for the continuing violence in Eastern Ukraine, 
        including the death on April 24, 2017, of Joseph Stone, a 
        citizen of the United States working as a monitor for the 
        Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe;
            (2) the President should call on the Government of the 
        Russian Federation--
                    (A) to withdraw all of its forces from the 
                territories of Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova;
                    (B) to return control of the borders of those 
                territories to their respective governments; and
                    (C) to cease all efforts to undermine the popularly 
                elected governments of those countries;
            (3) the Government of the Russian Federation has applied, 
        and continues to apply, to the countries and peoples of Georgia 
        and Ukraine, traditional uses of force, intelligence operations, 
        and influence campaigns, which represent clear and present 
        threats to the countries of Europe and Eurasia;

[[Page 131 STAT. 927]]

            (4) in response, the countries of Europe and Eurasia should 
        redouble efforts to build resilience within their institutions, 
        political systems, and civil societies;
            (5) the United States supports the institutions that the 
        Government of the Russian Federation seeks to undermine, 
        including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the 
        European Union;
            (6) a strong North Atlantic Treaty Organization is critical 
        to maintaining peace and security in Europe and Eurasia;
            (7) the United States should continue to work with the 
        European Union as a partner against aggression by the Government 
        of the Russian Federation, coordinating aid programs, 
        development assistance, and other counter-Russian efforts;
            (8) the United States should encourage the establishment of 
        a commission for media freedom within the Council of Europe, 
        modeled on the Venice Commission regarding rule of law issues, 
        that would be chartered to provide governments with expert 
        recommendations on maintaining legal and regulatory regimes 
        supportive of free and independent media and an informed 
        citizenry able to distinguish between fact-based reporting, 
        opinion, and disinformation;
            (9) in addition to working to strengthen the North Atlantic 
        Treaty Organization and the European Union, the United States 
        should work with the individual countries of Europe and 
        Eurasia--
                    (A) to identify vulnerabilities to aggression, 
                disinformation, corruption, and so-called hybrid warfare 
                by the Government of the Russian Federation;
                    (B) to establish strategic and technical plans for 
                addressing those vulnerabilities;
                    (C) to ensure that the financial systems of those 
                countries are not being used to shield illicit financial 
                activity by officials of the Government of the Russian 
                Federation or individuals in President Vladimir Putin's 
                inner circle who have been enriched through corruption;
                    (D) to investigate and prosecute cases of corruption 
                by Russian actors; and
                    (E) to work toward full compliance with the 
                Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public 
                Officials in International Business Transactions 
                (commonly referred to as the ``Anti-Bribery 
                Convention'') of the Organization for Economic Co-
                operation and Development; and
            (10) the President of the United States should use the 
        authority of the President to impose sanctions under--
                    (A) the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability 
                Act of 2012 (title IV of Public Law 112-208; 22 U.S.C. 
                5811 note); and
                    (B) the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability 
                Act (subtitle F of title XII of Public Law 114-328; 22 
                U.S.C. 2656 note).
SEC. 253. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    The United States, consistent with the principle of ex injuria jus 
non oritur, supports the policy known as the ``Stimson Doctrine'' and 
thus does not recognize territorial changes effected by force, including 
the illegal invasions and occupations of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, 
Crimea, Eastern Ukraine, and Transnistria.

                manipulate the internal politics and foreign relations 
                of the countries of Europe and Eurasia.
                    (B) This influence is based not only on the Russian 
                Federation's oil and natural gas resources, but also on 
                its state-owned nuclear power and electricity companies.

                    (A) the United States should assist the efforts of 
                the countries of Europe and Eurasia to enhance their 
                energy security through diversification of energy 
                supplies in order to lessen dependencies on Russian 
                Federation energy resources and state-owned entities; 
                and
                    (B) the Export-Import Bank of the United States and 
                the Overseas Private Investment Corporation should play 
                key roles in supporting critical energy projects that 
                contribute to that goal.
            (3) Use of countering russian influence fund to provide 
        technical assistance.--Amounts in the Countering Russian 
        Influence Fund pursuant to section 254 shall be used to provide

        dependence on energy from Russian Federation sources.

    (d) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized to be 
appropriated for the Department of State a total of $30,000,000 for

                        TRANSFERS.

    (a) Study.--
            (1) In general.--To improve the ability of the Department of 
        the Treasury to better track cross-border fund transfers and 
        identify potential financing of terrorist or other forms of 
        illicit finance, the Secretary shall carry out a study to 
        assess--
                    (A) the potential efficacy of requiring banking 
                regulators to establish a pilot program to provide 
                technical assistance to depository institutions and 
                credit unions that wish to provide account services to 
                money services businesses serving individuals in 
                Somalia;
                    (B) whether such a pilot program could be a model 
                for improving the ability of United States persons to 
                make legitimate funds transfers through transparent and 
                easily monitored channels while preserving strict 
                compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act (Public Law 91-508;

                regarding confidential supervisory information, the 
                potential impact of allowing money services businesses 
                to share certain State examination information with 
                depository institutions and credit unions, or whether 
                another appropriate mechanism could be identified to 
                allow a similar exchange of information to give the 
                depository institutions

[[Page 131 STAT. 937]]

                and credit unions a better understanding of whether an 
                individual money services business is adequately meeting 
                its anti-money laundering and counter-terror financing 
                obligations to combat money laundering, the financing of 
                terror, or related illicit finance.

Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Crimes, should intensify 
work with foreign partners to help the foreign partners develop 
intelligence analytic capacities, in a financial intelligence unit,

            (1) commensurate to the threats faced by the foreign 
        partner; and

        regimes of the foreign partner.

SEC. 291. <<NOTE: 22 USC 9501 note.>> RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.

    Nothing in this title or the amendments made by this title (other 
than sections 216 and 236(b)) shall be construed to limit the authority 
of the President under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act 
(50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).
SEC. 292. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF ARTICLE 
                        5 OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The principle of collective defense of the North 
        Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is immortalized in Article 5 
        of the North Atlantic Treaty in which members pledge that ``an 
        armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North 
        America shall be considered an attack against them all''.
            (2) For almost 7 decades, the principle of collective 
        defense has effectively served as a strategic deterrent for the 
        member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and 
        provided stability throughout the world, strengthening the 
        security of the United States and all 28 other member nations.
            (3) Following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in 
        New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania, the Alliance agreed to 
        invoke Article 5 for the first time, affirming its commitment to 
        collective defense.
            (4) Countries that are members of the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization have made historic contributions and sacrifices 
        while combating terrorism in Afghanistan through the 
        International Security Assistance Force and the Resolute Support 
        Mission.
            (5) The recent attacks in the United Kingdom underscore the 
        importance of an international alliance to combat hostile nation 
        states and terrorist groups.
            (6) At the 2014 NATO summit in Wales, the member countries 
        of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization decided that all 
        countries that are members of NATO would spend

[[Page 131 STAT. 940]]

        an amount equal to 2 percent of their gross domestic product on 
        defense by 2024.
            (7) Collective defense unites the 29 members of the North 
        Atlantic Treaty Organization, each committing to protecting and 
        supporting one another from external adversaries, which bolsters 
        the North Atlantic Alliance.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress--
            (1) to express the vital importance of Article 5 of the 
        North Atlantic Treaty, the charter of the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization, as it continues to serve as a critical deterrent 
        to potential hostile nations and terrorist organizations;
            (2) to remember the first and only invocation of Article 5 
        by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in support of the 
        United States after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001;
            (3) to affirm that the United States remains fully committed 
        to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and will honor its 
        obligations enshrined in Article 5; and
            (4) to condemn any threat to the sovereignty, territorial 
        integrity, freedom, or democracy of any country that is a member 
        of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
