Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2548) to impose sanctions and other measures with respect to the Russian Federation if the Government of the Russian Federation refuses to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine, violates any such agreement, or initiates another military invasion of Ukraine, and for other purposes.
H.Res. 438 is a procedural resolution that allows the House to consider H.R. 2548, a bill imposing sanctions and other penalties against Russia if it refuses to negotiate peace with Ukraine, violates a peace agreement, or launches another military invasion. The resolution waives standard procedural objections and allows for one hour of debate on the bill, with discussion controlled by Representative Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and an opponent, followed by one motion to recommit. This resolution affects U.S. foreign policy toward Russia and Ukraine but does not itself create funding or establish specific timelines—it simply enables House floor consideration of the underlying sanctions legislation. The measure streamlines the legislative process to bring the Russia sanctions bill quickly to a vote.
