I thank you for your unwavering belief in justice. It is justice that is the line from which the movement towards lasting peace can begin. Weapons provide physical protection, but it is justice that restores a sense of security to the lives that have been protected by the power of weapons. And a sense of predictability in all global relations. Every potential aggressor must know what awaits him if he destroys the peace. It is justice that can ensure this. Together we have created a real network of responsibility

He noted that Ukraine appreciates the leadership of the Netherlands in promoting the idea of a special tribunal for the crime of Russian aggression, and thanked all countries and state leaders, international organizations, civic leaders, and representatives of the legal community who support the global work to investigate Russian war crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice.

All those responsible - from the political and military leadership of Russia to the rank and file. I am sure that the activities of the International Criminal Court, which issued an arrest warrant for Putin and is working to bring full justice to all those affected by this war, both adults and children, are important to the whole world

The President said that Ukraine is creating very specific, systemic tools to compensate for the damage caused by the war.

Together with many countries and leaders, we are working to confiscate Russian assets and profits from them. All this must work for the people Putin wanted to destroy with this war. The Register of Losses is also starting to work, and it is critical that the following are also established this year: a commission for reviewing applications and a compensation fund as key elements of the planned mechanism for compensation

According to him, it is necessary not to deviate from the common line - the line of justice.

I ask you not to slow down. We must do everything possible for the sake of the power of justice, so that justice gives real strength to our common security - security from aggression and terror
