The executive orders, dated April 15, 2021, and August 20, 2021, impose sanctions for certain activities including (1) efforts by Russia's government to undermine U.S. elections and democratic institutions, and (2) the construction of specified Russian energy pipelines.
The President must also submit a report to Congress stating whether the President imposed or intends to impose sanctions on any person described in such a request from Congress.
