The bipartisan SABER bill introduced in the U.S. Senate could revive debate on using frozen Russian sovereign assets to support Ukraine’s defense needs.
Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States Olha Stefanishyna said this in comments to Ukrinform.
“Good news from Capitol Hill: a bipartisan bill called the SABER Act has been introduced in the U.S. Senate, once again raising the issue of using frozen Russian sovereign assets for Ukraine,” she noted.
According to the ambassador, the key point of the initiative is that it steers the debate toward using these funds to support Ukraine’s defense needs, particularly for purchasing weapons and military equipment.
This continues earlier legislative work, beginning with the adoption of the REPO Act and followed by the REPO Implementation Act, introduced in Congress in October 2025.
