              TITLE I--COUNTERING RUSSIAN CYBER INTRUSIONS

SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Russian Cyber Intrusions Sanctions 
Act of 2017''.

SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On October 7, 2016, the Department of Homeland Security 
        and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence stated, 
        the ``U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the 
        Russian government directed the recent compromises of e-mails 
        from U.S. persons and institutions, including from U.S. 
        political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged 
        hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by 
        the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods 
        and motivations of Russian-directed efforts.''. The statement 
        concluded that ``only Russia's senior-most officials could have 
        authorized these activities''.
            (2) On April 1, 2015, President Barack Obama issued 
        Executive Order 13694 (80 Fed. Reg. 18077; relating to blocking 
        the property of certain persons engaging in significant 
        malicious cyber-enabled activities), which authorizes the 
        Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney 
        General and the Secretary of State, to impose sanctions on 
        persons determined to be engaged in malicious cyber-hacking.
            (3) On July 26, 2016, President Obama approved a 
        Presidential Policy Directive on United States Cyber Incident 
        Coordination, which states, ``certain cyber incidents that have 
        significant impacts on an entity, our national security, or the 
        broader economy require a unique approach to response 
        efforts''.
            (4) On December 29, 2016, President Obama issued an annex 
        to Executive Order 13694, which authorized sanctions on the 
        following entities and individuals:
                    (A) The Main Intelligence Directorate (also known 
                as Glavnoe Razvedyvatel'noe Upravlenie or the GRU) in 
                Moscow, Russian Federation.
                    (B) The Federal Security Service (also known as 
                Federalnaya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti or the FSB) in Moscow, 
                Russian Federation.
                    (C) The Special Technology Center (also known as 
                STLC, Ltd. Special Technology Center St. Petersburg) in 
                St. Petersburg, Russian Federation.
                    (D) Zorsecurity (also known as Esage Lab) in 
                Moscow, Russian Federation.
                    (E) The autonomous noncommercial organization known 
                as the Professional Association of Designers of Data 
                Processing Systems (also known as ANO PO KSI) in 
                Moscow, Russian Federation.
                    (F) Igor Valentinovich Korobov.
                    (G) Sergey Aleksandrovich Gizunov.
                    (H) Igor Olegovich Kostyukov.
                    (I) Vladimir Stepanovich Alexseyev.
            (5) On January 6, 2017, an assessment of the United States 
        intelligence community entitled, ``Assessing Russian Activities 
        and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections'' stated, ``Russian 
        President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 
        aimed at the United States presidential election. Russia's 
        goals were to undermine public faith in the United States 
        democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her 
        electability and potential presidency.''. The intelligence 
        community ``did not make an assessment of the impact that 
        Russian activities had on the outcome of the 2016 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''.

                TITLE II--COUNTERING RUSSIAN AGGRESSION

SEC. 201. SHORT TITLE.

    The title may be cited as the ``Countering Russian Aggression Act 
of 2017''.

SEC. 202. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Government of the Russian Federation continues to 
        violate its commitments under 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 groundwork 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.
            (2) The Government of the Russian Federation has ignored 
        the terms of the August 2008 cease-fire agreement relating to 
        Georgia, which requires the withdrawal of Russian 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.
            (3) 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 (in this Act collectively 
        referred to as the ``Minsk Agreements'').
            (4) On October 7, 2016, United States Secretary of State 
        John Kerry, addressing the conflict in Syria, said ``Russia and 
        the regime owe the world more than an explanation about why 
        they keep hitting hospitals, and medical facilities, and 
        children and women. . . . These are acts that beg for an 
        appropriate investigation of war crimes, and those who commit 
        these would and should be held accountable for these actions. . 
        . . This is a targeted strategy to terrorize civilians.''.

SEC. 203. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the President should call on all parties to fully 
        implement 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 agreed to on September 5, 2014; and
            (2) the international community should conduct a full 
        investigation into allegations that the Russian Federation 
        committed war crimes through its military actions in Syria.

SEC. 204. PROHIBITIONS AGAINST UNITED STATES RECOGNITION OF THE RUSSIAN

        Federation over Crimea or its airspace or territorial waters; 
        and
            (2) the de jure or de facto independence of South Ossetia 
        or Abkhazia, or the airspace or territorial waters of South

        of Georgia.
    (e) United States Armed Forces.--The Secretary of Defense may not 
take any action, including any movement of aircraft or vessels, that

            (2) the independence of Abkhazia or South Ossetia, or the

        from Georgia.
    (f) United States Flagged Vessels.--No vessel that is issued a 
certificate of documentation under chapter 121 of title 46, United 
States Code, may take any action that implies recognition of--
            (1) the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over Crimea 
        or its territorial waters; or
            (2) the independence of South Ossetia or Abkhazia, or the 
        territorial waters of South Ossetia or Abkhazia, from Georgia.
    (g) United States Aircraft.--No aircraft operated by an air carrier 
that holds an air carrier certificate issued under chapter 411 of title 
49, United States Code, may take any action that implies recognition 
of--
            (1) the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over Crimea 
        or its airspace; or
            (2) the independence of South Ossetia or Abkhazia, or the 
        airspace of South Ossetia or Abkhazia, from Georgia.

            (2) to ensure that any relevant sanctions relief for the

        Government of the Russian Federation of the sovereignty of 
        Ukraine over Crimea as well as timely, complete, and verifiable 
        implementation of the Minsk Agreements, especially the

        border with the Russian Federation in the conflict zone;

            (2) before issuing the waiver, submits to the appropriate

 TITLE III--EUROPE AND EURASIA DEMOCRACY AND ANTI-CORRUPTION INITIATIVE

SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.

    The title may be cited as the ``Europe and Eurasia Democracy and 
Anti-Corruption Initiative Act of 2017''.

SEC. 302. 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 overtly and covertly 
        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 those European 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. State-funded and 
        controlled Russian-language media disseminated within and 
        outside of the Russian Federation routinely traffic in anti-
        Western falsehoods and disinformation, while few independent, 
        fact-based media sources provide objective reporting for 
        Russian-speaking audiences inside or outside of the Russian 
        Federation.
            (3) Multinational corporations headquartered in the United 
        States and European countries, and their subsidiaries and local 
        franchisees, advertise on media outlets controlled and funded 
        by the Government of the Russian Federation and are known to 
        routinely traffic in anti-Western falsehoods and 
        disinformation.
            (4) Acting Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and 
        Financial Crimes Adam Szubin stated on January 25, 2016, 
        regarding Vladimir Putin, ``We've seen him enriching his 
        friends, his close allies, and marginalizing those who he 
        doesn't view as friends using state assets. Whether that's 
        Russia's energy wealth, whether it's other state contracts, he 
        directs those to whom he believes will serve him and excludes 
        those who don't.''.
            (5) Many of President Putin's inner circle and their 
        families hold investments in the West, including in the United 
        States, use the United States financial system, and enjoy 
        freedom of movement in the United States and around the world.

SEC. 303. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the countries of Europe and Eurasia should redouble 
        efforts to build resilience within their political systems and 
        civil society to counter efforts of the Government of the 
        Russian Federation to exert malign influence and undermine 
        democratic institutions;
            (2) misinformation generated by the Russian Federation, 
        which is distributed in a variety of languages and through 
        overt and covert channels, including traditional as well as 
        social media, is polluting the information space, drowning out 
        competing information, fanning pre-existing social, economic, 
        and political tensions, promoting conspiracies, and confusing 
        and distracting its audiences;
            (3) the United States should identify areas of cooperation 
        with countries throughout the region that are vulnerable to 
        Russian aggression, disinformation, and hybrid warfare;
            (4) 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;
            (5) the United States should encourage members of the North 
        Atlantic Treaty Organization (in this section referred to as 
        ``NATO'') at the 2017 NATO Summit to prioritize the development 
        of a program within the NATO alliance to improve intelligence 
        cooperation among member states to combat corruption efforts in 
        Europe by the Russian Federation, including the use by the 
        Government of the Russian Federation of corruption to pressure 
        the countries of Central and Eastern Europe to abandon 
        democratic institutions;
            (6) the United States should--
                    (A) encourage 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 
                (in this section referred to as the ``OECD'');
                    (B) promote accession beyond the current 40 state 
                parties to the Convention; and
                    (C) require robust implementation from those 
                countries, like the Russian Federation, that seek to 
                join the OECD;
            (7) it is vital to protect the integrity of the United 
        States financial system from being used to shield illicit 
        financial activity by officials of the Russian Federation and 
        individuals in President Vladimir Putin's inner circle who have 
        been enriched through corruption;
            (8) the United States should investigate and prosecute 
        cases of corruption by Russian actors that use the United 
        States financial system to shield illicit gains and support the 
        efforts of allies of the United States to do the same;
            (9) the production and exportation from the Russian 
        Federation of conventional energy provides a stable and 
        abundant source of revenue for the Russian Federation to 
        undermine democratic institutions in Ukraine and elsewhere in 
        Central and Eastern Europe; and
            (10) the President of the United States should actively use 
        the authorizations under the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law 
        Accountability Act of 2012 (22 U.S.C. 5811 note) to sanction 
        those responsible for Mr. Magnitsky's death and the officials 
        of the Russian Federation found complicit in gross violations 
        of human rights.

              BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

    Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act,
