KIEV, Sept. 22 - The U.S. House of Representatives has passed unanimously the "Stability and Democracy for Ukraine Act," which was earlier supported by the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Ukrainian embassy in the United States said.

"The document, sponsored by House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Eliot Engel and introduced by him together with Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger, states that it is the policy of the United States to ensure that any relevant sanctions relief for the Russian Federation is contingent on timely, complete, and verifiable implementation of Minsk agreements," a report posted on the embassy's account on Facebook on Thursday morning said.
