US HB5797

Requires the Secretary of State to certify within 60 days whether Ukrainian children kidnapped since February 2022 have been reunited with their families and reintegration into Ukrainian society is underway

Mandates immediate designation of Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism if certification cannot be made, triggering restrictions under the Arms Export Control Act, Foreign Assistance Act, and National Defense Authorization Act

Cites Ukrainian government estimates of at least 648 children killed, 2,047 wounded, and 19,546 kidnapped, deported, or displaced since Russia's invasion began in February 2022

Allows rescission of the designation only after 45 days following certification that Russia has ceased supporting terrorism for 3 months, provided assurances against future terrorism support, and all children have been returned and reintegration is underway

References prior unanimous Senate adoption of Resolution 623 calling for the state sponsor of terrorism designation and Resolution 546 condemning Russian war crimes against Ukrainians
