The "Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025" establishes a robust framework for imposing severe sanctions on the Russian Federation. These measures are triggered if the President determines Russia is refusing to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine, violating an existing agreement, or initiating another military invasion of Ukraine. This covered determination must be made every 90 days, leading to mandatory sanctions.

The bill targets a wide range of Russian officials, including the President, Prime Minister, and various ministers, with asset blocking and visa ineligibility. It also sanctions foreign persons who knowingly support the Russian Armed Forces, undermine Ukraine's military readiness or critical infrastructure, or engage in corruption benefiting the Russian government. These sanctions aim to isolate key individuals and entities.

Significant financial sanctions are mandated against the Central Bank of Russia, Sberbank, VTB Bank, Gazprombank, and other state-affiliated financial institutions, including blocking property and restricting correspondent accounts. The bill prohibits U.S. persons from investing in Russian state-controlled entities or its energy sector, and bans the export of U.S. energy products to Russia. Furthermore, it prohibits the purchase of Russian sovereign debt and the import of Russian uranium, extending sanctions to countries that knowingly purchase Russian-origin oil, uranium, or petroleum products.

Additional provisions include prohibiting the listing or trading of Russian entities on U.S. securities exchanges and mandating the imposition of all applicable CAATSA sanctions. International financial messaging systems are required to terminate services to sanctioned Russian financial institutions. The President has authority to terminate sanctions if Russia verifiably ceases hostile acts and enters a peace agreement, but also the power to immediately reimpose them if conditions are violated.
