It is the sense of Congress that— the buildup of Russian forces in Belarus along its southern border with Ukraine is of great concern to the United States and not consistent with regularly scheduled joint military exercises between the militaries of Belarus and the Russian Federation; the United States should make no distinction between the Russian Federation and any other government that aids or assists Russian forces in any acts of military aggression that violate the sovereignty or territorial integrity of Ukraine; the Government of Belarus should incur significant penalties for any actions that aid or assist the Government of the Russian Federation in acts of military aggression towards Ukraine; and the penalties imposed by the United States on the Government of Belarus for such actions should be comparable to the penalties incurred by the Government of the Russian Federation for any acts of military aggression that violate the sovereignty or territorial integrity of Ukraine.
