June 9, 2023

WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) led a bipartisan group of Members in reintroducing the Russia is a State Sponsor of Terrorism Act, bipartisan legislation to officially deem Russia a state sponsor of terrorism. The bill, co-led by Representatives Steve Cohen (D-TN), Joe Wilson (R-SC), Jared Golden (D-ME), Ken Buck (R-CO) and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL), outlines Russia’s repeated support for non-state terrorist groups prior to and during the Ukraine conflict. Drawing on sanctions authority originally created by Congress, the bill further isolates Russia and inflicts more economic consequences on Putin's regime.
