Summary
This resolution urges the executive branch, G7, and European Union leaders to seize Russian Federation sovereign assets under their jurisdiction and disburse them to Ukraine. It asserts that Russia bears full financial responsibility for the harm caused by its unlawful war of aggression and that its assets should be used to satisfy this responsibility. The resolution highlights Russia's widespread attacks on civilians, war crimes, and the immense humanitarian and economic costs of the invasion as justification for these actions. The Senate recommends advocating internationally that Russia's violation of international law removes its entitlement to sovereign immunity and provides a legal basis for permanent confiscation of state-owned assets. It strongly urges all countries holding Russian sovereign assets to harmonize their domestic legal authorities, similar to the U.S. REPO for Ukrainians Act , to enable seizure. These countries are encouraged to partner with the United States to develop a multilateral fund for repurposing these assets. Specifically, the resolution calls for the confiscation and allocation of these assets to Ukraine in tranches of not less than $10,000,000,000 United States dollars per month until expended. Furthermore, it calls on the President and Secretaries of State and Defense to pressure countries with Russian assets to comply. This pressure includes prioritizing U.S. weapons sales to countries that seize and distribute assets to Ukraine, while deprioritizing sales to those that do not.
