U.S. would target Russian mercenary groups as foreign terrorists, blocking their money and operations.
This bill would require the U.S. government to officially label Russian-based paramilitary groups, like the Wagner Group's successors, as foreign terrorist organizations. This designation would lead to measures like blocking their property and stopping financial transactions, aiming to disrupt their global activities and human rights abuses.
Today, Russian-based paramilitary groups like the Wagner Group's successors are active and considered terrorist groups by Congress, but they are not formally designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations by the U.S. government. If this bill becomes law, the U.S. government would be required to formally designate these groups and their leaders as foreign terrorist organizations, leading to specific actions like blocking their property and prohibiting transactions with them.
