According to him, "we must take real steps to make it work."
Strong political cooperation is needed to ensure that every Russian war criminal is brought to justice, including Putin. This is the path we must take. From the very beginning to real charges and real sentences. I urge you to remain involved, to remain leaders, as you have done so far.
He stressed that military support for Ukraine, sanctions, and political pressure on Russia are very important, and this is what makes Russia feel the real price of this war.
The aggressor must lose and we are working on it. The lives of Ukrainians must be protected. Justice is also of great importance. It must work so that war criminals cannot hide, so that they have no place to hide - neither in Europe nor anywhere else.
He added that justice should work in such a way that it is clear that all those who plan aggressive crimes know that responsibility will come.
