A bipartisan group of US senators sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging the administration to transfer, and push allies to transfer, more than $300 billion of seized Russian assets to help Ukraine.
The senators, including Republicans Todd Young and Lindsey Graham, and Democrats Richard Blumenthal and Tim Kaine, asked Rubio whether the administration believes that US and EU-held assets "should be used as leverage in negotiations with Russia to bring an end to the war? If so, how?"
