Given the ownership of the Conservative party by Russians this is probably easier said that done.
Why not Israeli money ?
Give Russian assets to Ukraine and then America can take what they are owed off the top, less 1% for Bills expenses!
This Law makes perfect sense, consider this...Law Enforcement officers normally confiscate the proceeds of crime from criminals such as drug cartel bosses, since Mr Putin's regime are effectively international criminals, confiscating the proceeds of their crimes is no different, so yes, this Law should be passed asap.
Of courses we should, unfortunately our politicians are weak . Russia like the followers of a certain religion pose a real threat to our country, yet they refuse to acknowledge this threat

My question is why isn't that money in Russian banks anyway? Why move it out of the country?
I don't think this is a good idea myself because of the precedent it sets for all countries and how it will probably boomerang back and impact the West at some point. So I agree with the Russian government on this specific point, very bad precedent. At some point Russia is going to want to trade again with the West and that I think is where we say........OK but you need to pay reparations for this last war. I don't see Russia going for much longer than 10 years in it's current attack the West on all fronts approach. I think in the next 10 years there will be a coup or uprising and Putin will be gone. I think we need to be patient as we were with the Soviet Union.

If the law says "seize" the money will be seized, not stolen. It's a matter of doing the legislative work to allow the money to be seized for the right purpose. Estonia just today passed the laws necessary for allowing russia's money to be seized and used to compensate Ukraine with.
Will there be two currency systems in the future, the West ( Dollar) v BRICS currency ? Imagine any country who think if they have any money in the West it may be seized, there are not likely to keep it in western banks. So gold would be a good bet.
