Crimea Annexation Non-Recognition Act

This bill says the United States will not recognize Russia’s claim to control Crimea, including its airspace and surrounding waters. It also bars any federal department or agency from doing anything—or giving any help—that would suggest the U.S. accepts that claim.

Key points:

• Who is affected: All U.S. federal departments and agencies.
• What changes: They may not take actions or provide assistance that implies recognition of Russia’s claim over Crimea, its airspace, or its territorial waters.
• Scope: Sets U.S. policy to refuse recognition of Russia’s claim to Crimea.
