A group of US senators has introduced a bipartisan bill that would allow Ukraine to use frozen Russian state assets to buy military equipment, according to an official statement from Senator Tim Kaine's office.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly called the freezing of Russian assets in Western countries an act of theft.

The proposed Senate bill is called the Seizure of Assets for Equipment and War Preparedness (SABER) Act.

This rule is designed to expand the scope of the existing REPO law and expand the use of the funds to replenish Ukraine's weapons stockpiles.

Previously in November 2025, US President Donald Trump stated that the United States had stopped sending military aid directly to Ukraine, and switched to selling weapons to NATO, which then transferred them to Kiev.

Russia argues that arms supplies to Ukraine hinder the resolution of the conflict and directly involve NATO countries in the conflict.
