“Russia must pay for its horrific crimes. We will work with the International Criminal Court and help establish a specialized court to try Russia's crimes. With our partners, we will make sure Russia pays for the devastation it has caused, with the frozen funds of the oligarchs and the assets of its central bank".
This is what the president of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen announces in a tweet.
In the next few hours, the European executive will send the member countries an ad hoc proposal to allow Russia's responsibilities to be judged before a court.
“
Russia must also pay for the devastation it has wrought
. The
damage suffered by Ukraine is estimated to be around 600 billion euros
. Russia and the oligarchs must compensate Ukraine and cover the costs of reconstruction, and "We have the tools to make Russia pay. We froze 300 billion euros of Russian central bank reserves and froze 19 billion euros of Russian oligarchs."
This was stated by the president of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen in a video published with the announcement of Europe's proposal to create a special court on Russian crimes.
