A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution urges the executive branch and leaders of the G7 and the European Union to seize Russian sovereign assets held under their jurisdiction. It proposes that these assets be distributed to Ukraine in monthly payments of at least $10,000,000,000 until the funds are used up. The resolution argues that the Russian Federation is financially responsible for the harm caused by its war of aggression. It aims to create a multilateral fund to repurpose these assets for Ukraine's recovery and defense. Finally, it calls for using the sale of United States weapons as leverage to encourage countries to seize these assets.
