US Non-Recognition of Russian Sovereignty Over Crimea and Seized Ukrainian Territory.

This bill clearly states that the U.S. government will not recognize Russia's claims to Crimea or any other forcibly seized Ukrainian territories. This means no U.S. government agency can take actions or spend funds that imply recognition of Russian control, unless the democratically elected government of Ukraine itself recognizes it. For citizens, this signifies a continued U.S. policy of supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity.
Key points
The U.S. officially does not recognize Russian control over Crimea or other seized Ukrainian territories.
U.S. government agencies cannot support or fund actions implying recognition of Russian claims.
This policy can only change if Ukraine's democratically elected government recognizes Russian claims.
