As one of its final actions, the Biden administration has announced a significant $20 billion loan to Ukraine, funded by proceeds from frozen Russian assets.

Senator Michael Bennet has expressed support for the use of frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine, stating that it comes at no expense to American taxpayers.
