During his night address, Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that the partner states recognize that Russia should be held financially responsible for the crimes it had committed.

Zelensky noted that this is an appeal on a subject that the authorities will work on in the near future. Namely, compensation for all the losses that Russia has inflicted on Ukraine through its aggression.
Quote
“We are also working to ensure that Russia compensates in one way or another for everything it has destroyed in Ukraine. Every burned house. Every ruined school, ruined hospital. Each blown up house of culture and infrastructure. Every enterprise destroyed. Every business stopped, every hryvnia lost – by people, enterprises, communities and the state, ”the President said.
Zelensky stressed that the Russian state does not even recognize that it is an aggressor. But its recognition is not required.
“We urge our partner countries to legally recognize that Russia must be held financially responsible for the crimes it has committed. This is important not only in the context of this war waged by Russia. But also in the context of any other aggressive actions, whether by Russia or any other potential aggressor. Evil must receive an answer and know that it will be punished, ”the State Court said.
Under such an agreement, Russian funds and property under the jurisdiction of partner countries must be seized or frozen, and then confiscated and directed to a specially created fund from which all victims of Russian aggression can receive appropriate compensation.
