42 countries and the EU joined the formation of the international register of damages caused by Russia.
As Censor.NET informs with reference to Ukrinform, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said this at the international conference “Special tribunal on the crime of aggression against Ukraine. Justice must be done” in Kyiv.
“Another important and key position for Ukraine: Russia must pay, pay for all the damages and losses it has caused to our people. Pay for the restoration of our state. We proposed to the world the concept of an international compensation mechanism, it should consist of a register of losses, a compensation commission and compensation fund. The first element has already been created based on the resolution of the UN General Assembly,” Shmyhal said.
He added that 42 countries and the EU joined the formation of the international damage register.

“We are waiting for the other structural elements of the compensation mechanism to be completed quickly. The key question - where to get the money for confiscation, has a simple answer - from Russian frozen confiscated assets,” Shmyhal stressed.
The Prime Minister noted that it is important for Ukraine that the partners provide the appropriate instruments for the transfer of these funds in their legislation as soon as possible.
“This is also about justice. Convicting criminals and making them pay are two key things,” he explained.
Shmyhal is convinced that all together - Ukraine and partners should create a precedent of judicial punishment of the guilty and a precedent of payment of funds for restoration.
