Asset Seizure for Ukraine Reconstruction Act This bill authorizes the President to confiscate the property of certain foreign persons (i.e., individuals or entities) that derive wealth through political support for or corruption linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The President may also liquidate the confiscated property and use the resulting funds to provide assistance to Ukraine. Specifically, upon a declaration of a national emergency relating to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the President may confiscate the property of such a person if (1) the property is valued at more than $2 million; and (2) the person is subject to U.S. sanctions relating to corruption, human rights violations, Russia's malign influence, or conflicts in Ukraine.
