The U.S. is considering seizing Russia's assets to aid Ukraine, with a proposed amount of $300 billion. This move is part of a strategy to support Ukraine against Russia's aggression, with sanctions being imposed on financial institutions that support Russia's war machine. President Biden signed an executive order granting the Treasury Department broad powers to clamp down on financial firms that help Russia buy military supplies. Ukrainian President Zelensky also introduced new sanctions against Russia, targeting 51 people and 134 companies. The proposal to seize frozen Russian funds and use them to finance Ukraine is controversial, with concerns about potential financial crises.

The case for seizing Russia’s sovereign assets for Ukraine assistance is clear—especially as Congress departs without a funding deal. Time to put Putin’s $330 billion war chest on a one-way flight to Kyiv. Make Russia pay! cc @OlenaHalushka @RLHeinrichs https://t.co/okghKr2gVA
