Defending Ukraine's Territorial Integrity: No Aid for Countries Recognizing Annexation

This act aims to strengthen U.S. policy of not recognizing Russia's claims over Ukrainian territories. It means the United States will not provide financial assistance to governments of countries that recognize the independence of or establish diplomatic relations with Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine. This is intended to discourage other nations from supporting Russian aggression, indirectly impacting international stability and global security.
Key points
The U.S. does not recognize Russian control over any part of Ukraine, including Crimea and other occupied regions.
Countries that recognize Russia's annexation of Ukrainian territories will not receive financial aid from the U.S.
The U.S. Secretary of State can waive this prohibition if deemed in the national interest of the United States.
