The US Congress published a draft-bill Defending American Security from Kremlin Aggression Act (DASKA) on its web-page which also mentions Georgia.
A bipartisan group of US senators introduced a bill containing new sanctions on Russia over its alleged meddling in US elections and military interventions in Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the sponsors, called it the “sanctions bill from hell”.

The document says that funds have to be allocated to Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine for a reaction on destabilization caused by Russia’s military intervention, occupation outcomes and humanitarian crisis.

The financial resources should be also used for support to civil society, media, non-governmental organizations in fight back to Russian propaganda as well as in struggle against corruption, cyber attacks, and improvement of the supremacy of law and election mechanisms.

DASKA sent shocks through Russian financial markets when announced. The bill has yet to be reviewed by the Congress. A tougher version failed to pass last year. US President Donald Trump will then sign the bill.

The Defending American Security from Kremlin Aggression Act (DASKAA) was introduced by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Cory Gardner (R-CO), Ben Cardin (D-MD), John McCain (R-AZ), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) on August 2, 2018.

In a joint statement, Senator Graham said, “Our goal is to change the status quo and impose crushing sanctions and other measures against Putin’s Russia until he ceases and desists meddling in the US electoral process, halts cyber-attacks on US infrastructure, removes Russia from Ukraine, and ceases efforts to create chaos in Syria.
