CORE SUBJECT
Compensation Commission for Russian Crimes in Ukraine
Russia is the aggressor and must therefore pay. This is the founding principle of the convention adopted by 34 countries, as well as by the European Union, during a diplomatic meeting held in The Hague on Tuesday, December 16, under the auspices of the Council of Europe. The convention established a commission responsible for compensating Ukraine for crimes committed by Russia. This initiative aims to ensure that Ukrainian victims receive reparations for the damages suffered due to Russian aggression. The commission will be tasked with assessing the harm and distributing appropriate financial compensation, thereby strengthening Russia's accountability on the international stage.
