Bill overview
The Russia Bounty Response Act of 2020 aims to counter the alleged Russian government efforts to provide bounties on U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan. It requires the State Department to develop a strategy for diplomatic counteraction, imposes sanctions on individuals and entities linked to these alleged activities, and authorizes measures like rewards for information and enhanced Global Engagement Center programming. The bill also directs the State Department to establish a working group with Afghan officials and create specific positions to coordinate counter-influence efforts, while the President is tasked with appointing a special envoy. Finally, it seeks to gather information on the personal wealth of Vladimir Putin and expand a pilot program to bolster governance activities.
