A bipartisan effort in the U.S. Senate to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism gained renewed attention during a December 3 hearing focused on allegations that Russia is kidnapping and brainwashing tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal initially introduced legislation in 2022 shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and reintroduced the bill in June 2024, criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his actions in Ukraine and globally. The 2022 invasion included a missile strike on the Karachunivske reservoir that flooded the home city of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Kryvyi Rih. Ukraine has stated that the return of all kidnapped children is a non-negotiable condition for any peace agreement with Russia.
