Russia-Ukraine War

HARM Act 2.0

The bill strengthens U.S. ability to identify, sanction, and disrupt Wagner successor groups and increases oversight, but does so at the cost of diplomatic friction, possible retaliation and clandestine adaptation by those groups, added compliance and administrative expenses, and risks to immigration and sensitive reporting.

Acknowledging the fourth anniversary of Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine, reaffirming support for the people of Ukraine, and emphasizing the importance of robust United States security guarantees within a transatlantic commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty.

The resolution emphasizes steady U.S. and NATO security commitments to deter Russian aggression and support Ukraine—strengthening international stability and aid delivery—at the cost of higher U.S. defense spending, potential short-term pain for consumers, and an increased risk of prolonged U.S. involvement in the conflict.

Expressing support for the continued value of arms control agreements and negotiated constraints on Russian and Chinese strategic nuclear forces.

The resolution aims to reduce nuclear risk and reassure allies through renewed arms-control diplomacy and verification, but it risks higher defense/verification costs and — if talks fail or rhetoric hardens — increased nuclear uncertainty and degraded diplomatic flexibility.

Urging the Trump Administration to seize shadow fleet vessels transporting sanctioned oil from the Russian Federation.

The resolution aims to disrupt sanction-evasion and choke off funding for terrorists and Russia's war through encouragement of vessel seizures, trading increased national-security leverage for heightened legal, economic, and diplomatic risks.

Expressing the sense of the Senate that the 93rd anniversary of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933, known as the "Holodomor", should serve as a reminder of repressive Soviet policies against the people of Ukraine, and that Vladimir Putin's brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine once again threatens the existence of the Ukrainian people, while exacerbating the problems of global hunger.

The resolution strengthens U.S. condemnation of attacks on Ukraine's agricultural infrastructure and affirms historical atrocities (seeking to mobilize aid and uphold human-rights norms) at the trade-off of higher diplomatic tensions with Russia and the possibility of added fiscal costs for U.S. taxpayers.

Urging the executive branch and leaders of the G7 and the European Union to seize sovereign assets of the Russian Federation under the jurisdiction of members of the G7 and disburse such assets to Ukraine in tranches of not less than $10,000,000,000 United States dollars per month until expended.

The resolution would enable using frozen Russian sovereign assets—through U.S.-led multilateral coordination—to fund Ukraine and strengthen accountability, but it raises substantial risks of costly litigation, diplomatic strain, and adverse precedents that could affect U.S. taxpayers and future sanctions cooperation.

Condemning Russia's devastating aerial bombardment on the people of Ukraine, particularly the use of increasingly advanced ballistic missiles, and expressing support for securing more air defense systems.

The bill would enhance protection for Ukrainian civilians and critical infrastructure and reinforce U.S. support for Ukraine, but it raises the risk of escalation with Russia, increases costs to U.S. taxpayers, and creates diplomatic/export-control complications.

Calling for the return of abducted Ukrainian children before finalizing any peace agreement to end the war against Ukraine.

The resolution increases U.S. pressure to protect Ukrainian children and build legal accountability for serious violations, but that approach raises the risk of heightened geopolitical and economic fallout and could, in some cases, slow negotiations that would expedite returns or relief.

Reaffirming the fundamental principle prohibiting any state from forcibly acquiring the territory of another state.

Condemning Russia's illegal abduction of Ukrainian children.

The resolution elevates recognition and accountability for Ukrainian children and families—strengthening diplomatic tools for pressure and sanctions—while risking greater geopolitical friction and potential expectations for U.S. costs that would affect taxpayers.
