The head of the Supreme Court explained how Ukraine will make Putin pay for the war

"Putin himself will not appear in court, we have to do something about it and Russia itself will not pay. The only option is to seize all these assets located abroad. /1

The issue of compensation for damages caused by Russia during the full-scale war against Ukraine is currently being discussed both inside the country and outside its borders.

for the damages caused by the aggressor to Ukraine, because Russia itself will not volunteer to pay reparations.

and then to use these funds to repay the damage caused on the territory of Ukraine. We have a good example in the United States," Knyazev said.
