US Congress is promoting the idea of using Russia's frozen assets to pay Kiev for Lend-Lease. Experts point out that this initiative is extremely illegal, since it ultimately involves the confiscation of Russian assets in favor of the United States.

Republicans in the House of Representatives have prepared a version of a plan to help Ukraine in the form of loans, and not grant aid. House Speaker Mike Johnson is already "working closely" with Michael McCaul to find a way to develop an aid package for Ukraine.
