Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC-02), Ranking Member of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, better known as the Helsinki Commission, along with Co-Chairman Steve Cohen (D-TN-09), introduced a Congressional Resolution to end recognition of Vladimir Putin as president of Russia after May 7, 2024, if the autocrat remains in power.

"The inspiring people of Russia deserve better than endless corruption and authoritarianism. Vladimir Putin has shown time and time again that he is willing to subvert the law and the will of the people by continuing to enrich himself and his cronies. The United States should make it clear that it will not recognize desperate attempts by Vladimir Putin to cling to power and continue criminal activities, enriching oligarchs across the globe."
