Seizing and selling Russian assets

U-S Senator Lindsey Graham will support a new, bi-partisan bill to seize and sell the assets of rich Russian businessmen.  The Washington office of the South Carolina Republican today announced Graham’s support for “Asset Seizure for Ukraine Reconstruction Act”.  It’s a bill introduced by Rhode Island Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse and represents an updated version of a House bill, co-sponsored by South Carolina Republican Joe Wilson.  Proceeds from the sale of oligarch assets are to be used to support post-conflict reconstruction in Ukraine, humanitarian assistance, military assistance for the armed services of Ukraine, supporting refugees and their re-settlement, or technology and services to ensure the free flow of information to Ukrainian people.
