Details: Zelenskyy stressed that the work of legal teams preparing the system to hold Russia accountable is ongoing.

"It is important that there be a day when Ukrainians can say that Russia is truly being held accountable for what it has done – for this war, for all the killings, for all the suffering," he said, pledging that Ukraine, for its part, "will do everything necessary to bring Russian murderers to justice".

Zelenskyy thanked the Netherlands for agreeing to host legal bodies to hold Russia accountable, including the Compensation Commission, the agreement on the establishment of which is to be signed in The Hague on Tuesday.

He also pointed out that the world must fulfil the agreement to establish a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine.

Quote: "It is important that all instruments of justice work – from the tribunal on Russia's aggression to the Compensation Commission," he said.

Background: It was previously reported that a record number of states will sign the convention on the allocation of reparations on the first day.
