The main purpose of this legislation is to formally state that the United States does not recognize Russia's claim of sovereignty over Crimea, a region that Russia annexed in 2014. The objective is to reinforce U.S. policy against the annexation and to ensure that no federal actions or assistance imply acceptance of Russia's control over the area. Key provisions of the law include a clear statement of U.S. policy that rejects Russia's claim to Crimea, its airspace, and its territorial waters.
