Frozen Russian Assets – REPO Implementation Act (S.2918 / H.R.5835).
The REPO Implementation Act of 2025 would strengthen how the United States seizes frozen Russian sovereign assets and directs them for Ukraine’s benefit. The Senate bill (S.2918) was introduced in September 2025 and placed on the Senate legislative calendar on October 30, 2025. This legislation aims to make it easier to move frozen Russian central‑bank assets into accounts that can generate support for Ukraine’s recovery, reconstruction, and humanitarian needs.

Sanctions on Russia – Sanctioning Russia Act & SHADOW Fleet Act.
Two key bills focus on tightening sanctions on Russia. • The Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 (S.1241 / H.R.2548) would trigger broad new sanctions if Russia refuses to negotiate peace, violates a peace agreement, launches another invasion, or tries to overthrow Ukraine’s government. • The SHADOW Fleet Sanctions Act of 2025 (S.2904) targets Russia’s “shadow fleet” of tankers used to evade oil‑export sanctions, imposing penalties on vessels, owners, and insurers that help Moscow skirt restrictions. Together, these bills are intended to reduce the revenue Russia can use to wage war against Ukraine.

Abducted Ukrainian Children – Resolutions & New Bill (H.R.5962)
Several measures in Congress call for the safe return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. • Bipartisan resolutions in the Senate and House (S.Res.236 / H.Res.564) urge the United States to make the return of abducted Ukrainian children a priority in any peace process. • A new bill, the Abducted Ukrainian Children Recovery and Accountability Act (H.R.5962), introduced on November 7, 2025, would authorize U.S. agencies to help Ukraine identify abducted children, support their return, and assist with accountability efforts. These legislative efforts help keep international attention on the fate of abducted children and support Ukraine’s work to bring them home.

Protection for Ukrainians in the United States
Two bills focus on immigration protections for Ukrainians displaced by the war: • The Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025 (H.R.3104) would create a pathway for certain Ukrainians paroled into the United States to apply for lawful permanent resident status. • The Protecting Our Guests During Hostilities in Ukraine Act (H.R.2118 / S.696) would provide a temporary “Ukrainian guest status,” including work authorization, for people in the U.S. under Uniting for Ukraine until it is safe to return home. These measures are designed to offer stability and legal clarity to Ukrainians rebuilding their lives here while the war continues.
