The President and foreign partners discussed efforts to establish an International compensation mechanism
A joint meeting was held in The Hague between the 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.
This was reported on the official website of the President of Ukraine.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of a diplomatic conference dedicated to the establishment of the International Compensation Commission for Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that justice is just as important as peace and thanked everyone who is helping Ukraine in both directions.
The parties discussed the work on establishing the international compensation mechanism in general, and the International Compensation Commission for Ukraine in particular.
The Commission will consider claims for compensation for damage and losses caused by Russian 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 Compensation Commission will review claims submitted to the Register and determine the amounts of compensation for the affected individuals.
