REPO Implementation Act of 2025

## Summary The REPO for Ukrainians Implementation Act of 2025 amends the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act (REPO Act) to strengthen the process of repurposing frozen Russian sovereign assets to support Ukraine’s recovery from the ongoing war. The bill formalizes international commitments like the Porto Declaration, streamlines the transfer and investment of seized assets, mandates regular disbursements to Ukraine, and requires diplomatic engagement with allied nations to coordinate asset repurposing. Its goal is to ensure Ukraine receives sustained financial resources by maximizing the value of frozen Russian assets and encouraging global cooperation. ## Key Points - Recognizes the Porto Declaration: Adds findings affirming international support for repurposing $300 billion in frozen Russian assets across OSCE member states for Ukraine’s benefit. - Allows asset transfers without confiscation: Enables the President to move Russian sovereign assets into the Ukraine Support Fund even if not formally confiscated, ensuring they can generate interest. - Mandates investment of funds: Requires the U.S. Treasury to invest surplus funds in interest-bearing U.S. obligations, increasing the total resources available to Ukraine. - Quarterly disbursements: Directs the Secretary of State to spend at least $250 million every 90 days from the fund for Ukraine assistance, with flexibility for smaller remaining balances. - Diplomatic engagement requirements: Orders reports on Russian assets in allied (G7/EU/Australia) and non-allied countries, and urges the U.S. to pressure allies to repurpose at least 5% of assets quarterly. ## Impact Areas - Primary: Ukraine’s economic recovery and reconstruction efforts, through guaranteed quarterly aid and interest-generating investments. - Secondary: U.S. foreign policy coordination with G7, EU, and OSCE allies, as the bill pressures these nations to align asset repurposing efforts. - Additional: Legal clarity and technical corrections to the REPO Act, improving implementation consistency and addressing procedural gaps in asset management. *Note: "Vesting" refers to transferring legal ownership of assets; "interest-bearing obligations" are investments that earn returns; OSCE is an international organization promoting security and cooperation in Europe.*
