U.S. Senators Jim Risch and Sheldon Whitehouse introduce legislation to seize frozen Russian sovereign assets to fund the reconstruction of Ukraine. The hosts argue this move is illegal under international law and will accelerate the global move away from the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency, as other nations fear their assets could be confiscated.

Investor Bill Browder appeared on CNN to advocate for the confiscation of $300 billion in Russian central bank reserves. Browder argued that international law regarding sovereign immunity should be redefined to allow the seizure of state assets from countries that commit acts of aggression. This legal shift would provide a mechanism to fund Ukrainian reconstruction using frozen Russian capital.

Chancellor Alistair Darling warned that the United Kingdom is facing its worst economic climate in 60 years.
