DOE must prohibit such nationals from working in such laboratories until (1) the armed forces of Russia and any country that is an ally of Russia are no longer present in Ukraine, and (2) all sanctions imposed by the United States in response to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia that began on February 24, 2022, have been terminated.
