- Consider creating a legal framework for Ukraine to use frozen assets of the Russian Federation to compensate Ukraine and its citizens for damages caused to Ukraine and its citizens;
- to help restore justice for Ukraine and bring the military and political leadership of the Russian Federation to justice for war crimes, as well as compensation for victims of such illegal actions;
