European leaders gathered in The Hague, Netherlands, on Dec. 16 to launch an International Claims Commission designed to compensate Ukraine for the damage and alleged war crimes perpetrated in the country by Russia.
Scores of senior figures from across the continent descended on the International City of Peace and Justice to formally approve plans to create the compensation body. They included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Dutch Acting Prime Minister Dick Schoof, and European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.
