    "The Biden administration is quietly signaling new support for seizing more than $300 billion in Russian central bank assets stashed in Western nations, and has begun urgent discussions with allies about using the funds to aid Ukraine’s war effort at a moment when financial support is waning,” the New York Times reports

      Screw Congress. Seize $100 billion in Russian assets and turn it into an aid package for Ukraine. You still have the other 200 sitting there to use as leverage or seize at a later date.

        That 400 billion of Russian government money already forzen ain’t never coming back. It’ll be used for reconstruct Ukraine. This 300 billion I suspect will be used to buy weapons for Ukraine
