TITLE I--DIPLOMACY AND SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE
SEC. 101. AFFIRMING SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched
an unprovoked and brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine,
violating Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity,
subjecting the nation to acts of aggression that have
threatened its independence and security.
(2) For three years, the people of Ukraine have
demonstrated extraordinary resilience, courage, and
determination in the face of relentless attacks on their homes,
communities, sovereignty, and fundamental freedoms.
(3) Since the beginning of the invasion, Russia has engaged
in widespread and systematic war crimes, including--
(A) deliberate targeting of civilian
infrastructure, including residential buildings,
schools, hospitals, and evacuation corridors;
(B) the forced deportation and kidnapping of at
least 19,000 Ukrainian children to Russian-controlled
territories in an attempt to erase Ukrainian identity;
(C) the destruction of Ukraine's agricultural and
energy infrastructure to create humanitarian crises and
disrupt global food supply chains; and
(D) the use of torture, extrajudicial killings, and
mass graves in occupied Ukrainian territories, as
documented by the United Nations, the International
Criminal Court, and leading human rights organizations.
(4) Despite these atrocities, the people of Ukraine remain
unyielding, demonstrating that their spirit and commitment to
self-determination cannot be extinguished.
(5) The Russian Federation, despite its overwhelming use of
force, has suffered catastrophic military losses, with
estimates exceeding 800,000 casualties, illustrating that
President Vladimir Putin's war of conquest has become both a
strategic failure and a humanitarian disaster for Russia.
(6) Ukraine, despite facing an adversary with a far larger
population, army, and military arsenal, continues to fight
courageously for its sovereignty, demonstrating its resilience
and determination.
(7) Russia's war has destabilized global security,
undermining the principles of sovereignty and nonaggression and
emboldening authoritarian regimes seeking to redraw
international borders by force.
(8) The United States, the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO), the European Union, and allied nations
have demonstrated historic unity in their support for Ukraine,
reaffirming their commitment to upholding international law,
territorial integrity, and democratic values.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United
States--
(1) recognizes that discussions surrounding the future of
Ukraine must include Ukraine;
(2) condemns in the strongest possible terms the Russian
Federation's ongoing war crimes, its targeted destruction of
Ukrainian society, and its blatant violations of international
law;
(3) reaffirms its commitment to the people of Ukraine and
the principles of sovereignty, independence, and territorial
integrity within internationally recognized borders;
(4) urges the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all
Russian forces from Ukrainian territory, including Crimea and
the Donbas, and affirms that any negotiations must be based on
Ukraine's sovereignty, not dictated by Russian ultimatums;
(5) demands international institutions take decisive action
to ensure the safe return of at least 19,000 kidnapped
Ukrainian children, recognizing that their forced deportation
is a war crime and an act of genocide under international law;
(6) supports the continued prosecution of Vladimir Putin
and Russian political and military leaders for war crimes,
crimes against humanity, and genocide, reinforcing that those
who orchestrate such atrocities must be held accountable before
the world; and
(7) stresses that any sustainable peace deal must be built
with Ukraine and our European allies at the table.
SEC. 102. REAFFIRMING THE IMPORTANCE OF NATO.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States and its democratic allies and
partners face unprecedented international challenges and
evolving threats to global security.
(2) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was
founded on April 4, 1949, to counter Soviet expansion, prevent
further world wars in Europe, and strengthen transatlantic
security, and is built on the democratic principles of freedom,
security, and national sovereignty.
(3) Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty underpins the
principle of ``collective defense'' and has served as a guiding
value of United States foreign policy for over 75 years.
(4) The United States commitment to Article 5 enhances
deterrence against adversaries such as Russia, China, and Iran
that seek to spread their malign influence.
(5) The unity of NATO allies strengthens collective
security and the stability of democratic states.
(6) NATO serves as a bulwark against the proliferation of
malign influence, technologies, and destabilizing operations by
adversaries.
(7) Authoritarian regimes such as Russia, China, Iran, and
North Korea have increased collaboration in political,
economic, and security sectors to undermine democratic
principles.
(8) In the only invocation of Article 5, NATO allies
provided military and intelligence support to the United States
following the September 11, 2001, attacks, and many NATO allies
incurred significant casualties in Afghanistan.
(9) NATO has remained steadfast in its support for Ukraine,
with member countries providing military and non-security
assistance, strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities, and
imposing costs on Russia for its illegal invasion.
(10) Finland and Sweden made the sovereign decision to
accede to NATO following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
(11) NATO continues to address systemic challenges posed by
China to Euro-Atlantic interests and security.
(12) NATO member states have strengthened their defense and
cyber capabilities, including through the Defense Innovation
Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) program.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the United States reaffirms its full and unwavering
commitment to NATO;
(2) NATO remains vital to United States national security
interests and the United States remains fully committed to
defending its allies under Article 5 of the North Atlantic
Treaty;
(3) NATO's open door policy is essential to European
security, and every sovereign state has the right to determine
its security arrangements, including Ukraine;
(4) the United States remembers and honors the thousands of
NATO coalition soldiers who sacrificed their lives following
the invocation of Article 5 after the September 11, 2001,
attacks;
(5) all NATO allies should dedicate at least 2 percent of
their gross domestic product to national defense or establish
concrete plans to meet their 2 percent obligations by the
Washington Summit; and
(6) NATO allies must continue cooperation in advanced
defense technologies, counterintelligence, and cybersecurity
programs to counter evolving threats from adversaries such as
Russia, China, and Iran.
SEC. 103. CONDEMNING THE KIDNAPPING OF UKRAINIAN CHILDREN.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) On January 12, 1951, the Convention on the Prevention
and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (commonly known as the
``Genocide Convention'') entered into force. The Russian
Federation is a party to the Convention and is therefore bound
by its obligations.
(2) On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation escalated
its 8-year occupation of sovereign Ukrainian territory by
launching a full-scale, unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
(3) Russian armed forces have committed widespread and
systematic atrocities against Ukrainian civilians, including
the targeting of civilian infrastructure and protected sites.
(4) On March 9, 2022, Russian forces attacked a maternity
hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of 5
individuals and injuries to 17 others, in violation of
international humanitarian law.
(5) On March 22, 2022, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs announced that the Russian military had illegally
abducted and forcibly transferred 2,389 Ukrainian children from
temporarily occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian
Federation.
(6) On June 2, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelenskyy stated that an estimated 200,000 Ukrainian children
had been forcibly transferred to Russia.
(7) Article II(e) of the Genocide Convention defines
``forcibly transferring children of the group to another
group'' as an act of genocide.
(8) Maria Lvova-Belova, Children's Rights Commissioner for
the President of Russia, publicly admitted to overseeing the
abduction and forced transfer of Ukrainian children and their
adoption by Russian families.
(9) Ukrainian authorities have stated that many abducted
children have living family members in Ukraine but have been
separated due to Russia's renewed invasion.
(10) On June 16, 2022, Russian authorities announced that
children born in occupied Ukrainian territories after the
February 24, 2022, invasion would automatically be deemed
Russian citizens, contributing to the erasure of Ukrainian
identity.
(11) On June 22, 2022, the United Nations Human Rights
Office of the High Commissioner verified that at least 320
children had been killed as a result of Russia's renewed
invasion of Ukraine.
(12) On July 11, 2022, United Nations Secretary-General
Antonio Guterres ordered an investigation into the deaths and
injuries of Ukrainian children in the context of the conflict.
(13) On July 13, 2022, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken
called on the Russian Federation to ``immediately halt its
systemic filtration operations in Ukraine'', which have
resulted in the disappearance, detention, or forcible
deportation of between 900,000 and 1,600,000 Ukrainians,
including approximately 260,000 children.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the abduction and forcible transfer of children and
facilitation of illegal adoptions of Ukrainian children by the
Russian Federation is contrary to Russia's obligations under
the Genocide Convention and constitute acts of genocide;
(2) the Russian Federation is deliberately seeking to wipe
out a generation of Ukrainian children, thereby crippling
Ukraine's ability to nurture the next generation of Ukrainian
citizens and leaders and to rebuild their country after
Russia's unprovoked war, with the purpose of demolishing
Ukraine's unique language, culture, history, and identity;
(3) the Russian Federation's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine
has significantly increased the risks of children being exposed
to human trafficking and exploitation, child labor, gender-
based violence, hunger, injury, trauma, deprivation of
education and shelter, and death; and
(4) the Government of the Russian Federation, under the
leadership of Vladimir Putin, bears full responsibility for the
wrongful and illegal abduction and forcible transfer of
children from Ukraine, and Congress condemns these actions in
the strongest terms.

SEC. 111. UNITED STATES-EUROPEAN NUCLEAR ENERGY COOPERATION.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation initiated
a full-scale invasion of Ukraine which has severely threatened
energy security in the United States, Europe, and around the
world.
(2) The security of Ukraine's energy grid has been vital to
Ukraine's success in its defense of its territory and ensuring
the Ukrainian government can effectively provide goods and
services to Ukrainian citizens.
(3) Ukraine has operated four nuclear power plants with 15
reactors, primarily Russian-designed water-water energetic
reactor (VVER) reactors.
(4) Russia, in its war of aggression against Ukraine, has
systematically targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure through
heavy shelling and targeted attacks, particularly in the winter
months when innocent Ukrainian civilians are most vulnerable.
(5) Since March 2022, Russian forces have illegally
occupied the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station, the largest
nuclear power plant in Europe, and Russian forces have
surrounded the station with landmines, further threatening
regional security.
(6) Russian-designed VVER reactors have been built across
Europe, including in Belarus, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic,
Finland, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Turkey, and Ukraine.
(7) Russia uses its nuclear power plant designs and fuel
services to spread malign influence and threaten United States
and European energy security.
(8) As of 2021, Russia owned about 20 percent of the total
uranium conversion infrastructure worldwide and in 2020, had
the largest uranium enrichment capacity at close to 46 percent.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) in countries seeking or developing a nuclear power
industry, the Department of State should prioritize the
utilization of products and services from the United States,
and then prioritize products and services from Europe and other
allied or partner countries, including Canada, Japan, the
United Kingdom, and the Republic of Korea when not directly
competing with the United States;
(2) the United States and its allies must focus on
cooperation, including capacity building and early-stage
project support, to expand the nuclear industry in Europe in a
way that maintains nonproliferation, security, and safety
standards and aligns with international obligations and
treaties while combating Russian and Chinese malign influence;
and
(3) the United States should continue to pursue the
Foundational Infrastructure for Responsible Use of Small
Modular Reactor Technology program as a means of helping
partner countries meet their clean energy needs with scalable,
flexible, secure, and safe nuclear power programs.
(c) Strategy Required.--The Secretary of State, in consultation
with the Secretary of Energy and the heads of other relevant Federal
departments and agencies, shall develop a strategy to strengthen United
States-European nuclear energy cooperation and combat Russian malign
influence in the nuclear energy sector in Europe.
(d) Elements.--The strategy required by subsection (c) shall
include, at a minimum, the following elements:
(1) An overview and assessment of the Secretary of State's
efforts to broaden participation by United States nuclear
industry entities in Europe and promote the accessibility and
competitiveness of United States, European, and partner
technologies and services against Russian and Chinese
technologies in Europe.
(2) An overview of different nuclear reactor types that are
currently deployed or under regulatory review in Europe,
including large light-water reactors, small modular light-water
reactors, and non-light-water reactors, and--
(A) what role, if any, each reactor type could have
in reducing Russia's influence over European energy
supply by 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045, and 2050;
(B) challenges that each reactor type may face with
rapid deployment, including costs, market barriers to
first-of-a-kind designs, supply chain constraints, and
regulatory requirements;
(C) the impacts of each reactor type on maintaining
strong nonproliferation standards, including the
minimization of weapons-usable nuclear material; and
(D) opportunities for the use of United States,
European, and partner technologies and services in the
deployment or potential deployment of each reactor
type.
(3) An overview of different fuel cycles that are currently
deployed or under consideration in Europe, including use of low
enriched uranium, including high assay low enriched uranium,
and spent fuel reprocessing, along with an analysis of the
implications of each fuel cycle on--
(A) reducing and eliminating Russia's market share
in Europe for uranium, conversion, enrichment, and
reactor fuel between now and 2030;
(B) achieving long-term energy security free of
Russian influence; and
(C) maintaining strong nonproliferation standards,
including the minimization of weapons-usable material
as well as high nuclear safety and security standards.
(4) An overview of nuclear reactor designs and fuel cycle
infrastructure that the United States Government is currently
funding the development of, and--
(A) the potential, if any, that each of these
technologies have to decrease or eliminate Russia's
market share in the United States and Europe for
nuclear power reactors, uranium mining and milling,
conversion, enrichment, fuel fabrication, deconversion,
and spent nuclear fuel reprocessing in the short-,
medium-, and long-term;
(B) the impact of these technologies on the
minimization of weapons-usable nuclear material,
including the use of highly enriched uranium or
plutonium fuels; and
(C) an assessment of the use cases for each of
