The President noted that this also applies to legal, political and financial responsibility.
"Russia must pay the full price for this aggression. Its assets and the assets of all persons associated with the aggressor state must be found, frozen and eventually confiscated in favor of defense against Russian aggression and assistance to all those in Ukraine who have suffered from the war. When Russia is held accountable for its war politically, legally and necessarily financially, it will be an important contribution to the global defense of peace and a cautionary tale for other potential aggressors," the President emphasized.
Zelenskyy noted the efforts of the Estonian president in this case - justice and responsibility of Russia.
"I know that Estonia is currently preparing a law on Russian assets, and Ukraine will be grateful for the effectiveness of this law," the Head of State added.
