I believe it can be an important step toward ensuring that Russian assets seized because of their aggression can be repurposed and used to support Ukrainian victory and recovery.

there is unprecedented bipartisan, bicameral support for the people of Ukraine.

I strongly believe that the successful adaptation of the REPO Act brings us one step closer to victory and sets a motivating precedent for other countries.

Sadly, it should be understood that the Russian Federation, following the tradition of the Soviet Union, follows no agreements.

What an inspiration the Ukrainian military is to the world today.

This legislation, to me, has such significance today. Hopefully it is a deterrence to any country that may feel like they want to invade another country.

The decision to confiscate the reserves of the Russian Central Bank will send a clear signal to Putin and all the tyrannies that there is no chance to avoiding responsibility for an acts of aggression against a sovereign State.

We will, you are going to see it right here. We have got distinguished senators who have been here. We have got members of the House.

Putin's crony oligarchs have been instrumental in the financial Russia aggressor against Ukraine, and the mass murder of Ukrainians are lining their money coffers and enjoying the freedoms they are actively trying to destroy.

I am really grateful that Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of the beautiful State of Rhode Island is here.

The Budapest Memorandum should have been very revealing, and that is that a country gave up their nuclear capability and weapons with the understanding of territorial integrity.
