Sanctions on Russia: Gold Transactions and Regime Supporters

This act introduces new sanctions against Russia, focusing on gold-related transactions. The goal is to limit Russia's ability to fund destabilizing activities. Citizens are not directly affected, but may observe broader geopolitical consequences.
Key points
The U.S. President must identify and sanction individuals and entities involved in gold transactions with Russia.
Sanctions include freezing assets in the U.S. and denying entry to the United States for sanctioned individuals.
The act can be terminated if Russia ceases its destabilizing activities in Ukraine.
Exceptions to sanctions exist, for example, for humanitarian activities or compliance with international agreements.
