What This Bill Does
This bill tells the U.S. government it cannot recognize Russia's claim to own Crimea, its airspace or its territorial waters (the ocean area belonging to a country). The bill is called the Crimea Annexation Non-Recognition Act.
Who It Affects
Federal departments and agencies of the U.S. government.
Key Provisions
* No federal department or agency can take any action or give any assistance that suggests the U.S. recognizes Russia's claim of sovereignty (ultimate control) over Crimea, its airspace or its territorial waters. (Sec. 2(b))
What Changes
Federal departments and agencies must stop any actions or assistance that would imply recognition of Russia's claim to Crimea. This prevents the U.S. government from treating Russia as the legitimate owner of Crimea.
