“The aggressor must pay”: Zelenskyy urges European leaders use frozen Russian assets for reparations

From Global News.

On Tuesday in The Hague, European leaders, along with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, launched an International Claims Commission to compensate Kyiv for hundreds of billions of dollars in damage from Russia’s attacks and alleged war crimes.

Damages deemed eligible for reparations by the commission could include using Russian assets frozen by the EU.

Dutch Foreign Minister David van Weel stressed the importance of accountability in conflict resolution: "part of that accountability is also paying damages that have been done. So, I think it’s a big step today that we now are establishing a claims commission, that we’re signing a treaty on that."
