        material, logistical assistance, training, and financial 
        support to militants and terrorist operatives throughout the 
        Middle East and South Asia and was designated for the

        blocking property and prohibiting transactions with persons who 
        commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism) in October 
        2007 for its support of terrorism.

 Subtitle A--Sanctions and Other Measures With Respect to the Russian 
                               Federation

SEC. 211. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On March 6, 2014, President Barack Obama issued 
        Executive Order 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 13661 (79 
        Fed. Reg. 15535; relating to blocking property of additional 
        persons contributing to the situation in Ukraine) and Executive 
        Order 13662 (79 Fed. Reg. 16169; relating to 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 
        of the Russian Federation or nationals of the Russian 
        Federation that manufacture, sell, transfer, or otherwise 
        provide certain defense articles into Syria.
            (3) On April 1, 2015, President 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.
            (4) 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''.
            (5) 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

SEC. 212. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that the President--
            (1) 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 
        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
            (2) 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. 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.
            (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. 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;
            (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.

                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

                key roles in supporting critical energy projects that 
                contribute to that goal.

        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

                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-

                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 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.

SEC. 292. SENSE OF SENATE ON THE STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF ARTICLE 5 OF 
              THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate 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 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 Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate--
            (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.
