In The Hague, a joint meeting took place between President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof, President of Moldova Maia Sandu, and Secretary General of the Council of Europe Alain Berset.
The meeting was held on the sidelines of the diplomatic conference dedicated to the establishment of the International Claims Commission for Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that justice is just as important as peace and thanked everyone who is helping Ukraine advance both.
The parties discussed the overall work on creating the international compensation mechanism, and the International Claims Commission for Ukraine in particular.
The Commission will consider claims for compensation for damage and losses caused by Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. This is already the second element of the international compensation mechanism; the third and final stage will be the establishment of a compensation fund. The first element – the Register of Damage – became operational in April last year. The Claims Commission will review applications submitted to the Register and determine compensation amounts for those affected.
