What this bill would do
H.R. 10866, known as the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act of 2026, was introduced in the House of Representatives on October 22, 2026. The bill amends the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act to completely ban the Office of Foreign Assets Control from issuing waivers or general licenses for importing Russian energy products. It also blocks the Secretary of the Treasury from spending funds on agreements that break this provision. Additionally, the legislation nullifies Russia-related General License 135 regarding Russian diesel fuel and prevents future authorizations for transactions involving Russian crude oil or petroleum products. Finally, the bill requires the intelligence community to provide specific intelligence support to the Government of Ukraine and mandates quick notification to Congress if that support is interrupted.
