A Ukrainian Parliament member is calling on the U.S. to use money seized from Russian oligarchs as aid to Ukraine as the world marks the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion.
"For the money that you want to send us and the money we need, let's use Russian money," Rudik. "Let's use money of Russian oligarchs and Russian central bank ... It's over $500 billion."
"Congress already passed legislation before the new year allowing oligarchs' money to be transferred to Ukraine," she noted. "We need to go further and actually execute on this legislation because I believe it will be the fair and logical thing to do. Taxpayers of the countries that support us should not be paying for Putin's crimes."Republicans in particular continue to remain divided on the issue of sustained aid to Ukraine.
