,on ,february #bd1 #bjbb1 the ,government of the ,russian ,federation violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ,ukraine by engaging in a premeditated1 second illegal invasion of ,ukraine4 7#b7 ,the international community has condemned the illegal invasions of ,ukraine by the ,russian ,federation1 as well as the commission of war crimes by the ,russian ,federation1 including through the deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure and the commission of sexual violence4 7#c7 ,the leaders of the ,g#g have called the ,russian ,federation's unprovoked and completely unjustified attack on the democratic state of ,ukraine a serious violation of international law and a grave breach of the ,united ,nations ,charter and all commitments ,russia entered in the ,helsinki ,final ,act and the ,charter of ,paris and its commitments in the ,budapest ,memorandum4 7#d7 ,on ,march #b1 #bjbb1 the ,united ,nations ,general ,assembly adopted ,resolution ,,es-#aa_/a1 entitled ,aggression against ,ukraine1 by a vote of #ada to #e4 ,that resolution deplored in the strongest terms the aggression by the ,russian ,federation against ,ukraine in violation of ,article #b7d7 of the ,united ,nations ,charter and demanded that the ,russian ,federation immediately cease its use of force against ,ukraine and immediately1 completely and unconditionally withdraw all of its military forces from the territory of ,ukraine within its internationally recognized borders4 7#e7 ,on ,march #af1 #bjbb1 the ,international ,court of ,justice issued provisional measures ordering the ,russian ,federation to immediately suspend the military operations that it commenced on #bd ,february #bjbb in the territory of ,ukraine4 7#f7 ,on ,november #ad1 #bjbb1 the ,united ,nations ,general ,assembly adopted a resolution-- 7,a7 recognizing that the ,russian ,federation must bear the legal consequences of all of its internationally wrongful acts1 including making reparation for the injury1 including any damage1 caused by such acts2 7,b7 recognizing the need for the establishment of an international mechanism for reparation for damage1 loss1 or injury caused by the ,russian ,federation in ,ukraine2 and 7,c7 recommending creation of an international register of such damage1 loss1 or injury4 7#g7 ,under international law1 a country that is responsible for an internationally wrongful act is under an obligation to compensate for the damage it has caused if such damage cannot be made good by restitution4 ,the ,russian ,federation bears such responsibility to compensate ,ukraine1 and because of this grave breach of international law1 all states are legally entitled to take countermeasures that are proportionate and aimed at inducing the ,russian

,russian ,federation to compensate ,ukraine4 7b7 ,sense of congress ,it is the sense of ,congress that1 having committed an act of aggression1 as recognized by the ,united ,nations ,general ,assembly on ,march #b1 #bjbb1 the ,russian ,federation is to be considered as an aggressor state4 ,the extreme illegal actions taken by the ,russian ,federation1 including an act of aggression1 present a unique situation1 requiring and justifying the establishment of a legal authority to compensate victims of aggression by the ,russian ,federation in ,ukraine4 ,in this case1 that authority is the authority of the ,united ,states ,government and other countries to confiscate ,russian sovereign assets in their respective jurisdictions to help enforce the obligation of the ,russian ,federation to compensate ,ukraine4 #ajb4 ,sense of ,congress regarding importance of the ,russian ,federation providing compensation to ,ukraine ,it is the sense of ,congress that-- 7#a7 the ,russian ,federation bears responsibility for the financial burden of the reconstruction of ,ukraine and for countless other costs associated with the illegal invasion of ,ukraine by the ,russian ,federation that began on ,february #bd1 #bjbb2 7#b7 the full cost of the ,russian ,federation's unlawful war against ,ukraine and the amount of money the ,russian ,federation must pay ,ukraine should be assessed by an

cost of the ,russian ,federation's unlawful war against ,ukraine and make funds available to compensate for damage1 loss1 and injury arising from its internationally wrongful acts in ,ukraine1 and if it fails to do so1 the ,united ,states and other countries should explore other avenues for ensuring compensation to ,ukraine1 including confiscation and repurposing of assets of the ,russian ,federation2 7#e7 the ,president should lead robust engagement on all bilateral and multilateral aspects of the response by the ,united ,states to efforts by the ,russian ,federation to undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ,ukraine1 including on any policy coordination and alignment regarding the disposition of ,russian sovereign assets in the context of compensation2 7#f7 the confiscation and repurposing of ,russian sovereign assets by the ,united ,states is in the vital national security interests of the ,united ,states and consistent with ,united ,states and
