Lindsey Graham Threatens Bill Designating Russia State Sponsor of Terror over Kidnapping of Ukrainian Children
Legislation targets Russia and Belarus as state sponsors of terrorism over abducting more than 19,500 Ukrainian children, with bipartisan support from over 85 US senators.
- Introducing the measure, Senators Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., propose designating Russia and Belarus as state sponsors of terrorism over alleged Ukrainian child abductions.
- According to Ukrainian government estimates, Russia has been accused of abducting over 20,000 Ukrainian children since the 2022 invasion, with some placed for 'Russification'.
- The draft states Ukrainian children as young as a few months to 17 years have been kidnapped for ‘Russification’ and some have been put on the battlefield against Ukraine.
- Under the proposal, the bill would give the Secretary of State 60 days to act or designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, supported by 85 co-sponsors.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House following last month's meeting in Rome where senators presented the draft bill on Russia.
