EU Leaders Approve "Register of Damage" To Document Damages Caused By Russian Forces For Future Reparations

 

RFE: Europe Approves Plan To Tally Cost Of Moscow's War In Ukraine With Eye Toward Future Reparations 

More than 40 nations have agreed to set up a system to tally the damage Russia has inflicted on Ukraine in the hope of getting reparations, adding to the international legal challenges the Kremlin is facing. 

The register of damages, which will allow Ukrainian victims of war to catalog the harm they have suffered, found a plethora of support among the 46-nation Council of Europe summit in Iceland. 

In total, 40 member states of the council agreed to join on May 17 or will do so in the future. Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Hungary, and Turkey will not join, at least not initially.

WNU Editor: When this war is finally over, Ukraine, or what is left of it, will be owing the West hundreds of billions if not more. They cannot pay this amount. This "Register of Damage" is more about EU nations being paid, and nothing to do with helping Ukraine.

concur. Unless the Russians are totally defeated, it won't happen.

And yes the EUrs do not care about the "rebuild". they just want the cash back. Good luck with that.

Wiping the debt does help ukraine , not mention the billions already earmarked for reconstruction.

Wiping ukraines debt at the cost of the world losing all trust in western banks? It's not worth it. Everyone will move their reserves to China. Global hegemony belongs to the responsible, not the emotional.

So let’s do to Russia what we did to Germany at the end of WW1. That worked out so well
