Urging the executive branch and leaders of the G7 and the European Union to seize sovereign assets of the Russian Federation under the jurisdiction of members of the G7 and disburse such assets to Ukraine in tranches of not less than $10,000,000,000 United States dollars per month until expended.

Summary

Declares that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine constitutes crimes against humanity and breaches international law, and states that customary international law can permit targeted, proportionate countermeasures — including using seized sovereign assets to repair harm. Notes existing measures that froze but did not confiscate assets, cites U.S. domestic authority (REPO for Ukrainians Act) and an international call (OSCE Porto Declaration) to repurpose frozen Russian sovereign assets for Ukraine, and urges robust international coordination and U.S. leadership to implement such measures. Frames these findings and policy positions as legal and strategic rationale to support future action; it does not itself create operative duties, appropriate funds, or set deadlines.
