SEC. 1282. SENSE OF SENATE ON THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION'S
ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF CRIMEA AND DONBASS.

It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) as precondition for readmission into a reconstituted
G8, the Russian Federation must end its illegal occupation of
Crimea and Donbass and cease its malign activities against
democratic countries; and
(2) it should be the official policy of the United States
to reject the readmission of the Russian Federation into a
reconstituted G8 and the participation of the Russian
Federation in any future G7 proceeding unless the Russian
Federation has ended its illegal occupation of Crimea and
Donbass and is fully implementing its commitments under the
Minsk agreements.
