Details: Mudra said that the final round of talks in The Hague on 9 September concerns the compensation mechanism for Ukraine, which will operate based on the already established Register of Damage Caused by the Aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. Representatives of 56 countries, as well as the EU and the Council of Europe, are taking part.

“This will be a test for the world: whether it is ready to say to the aggressor – ‘you will pay for every destroyed life and every ruined home’,” she noted.

Earlier, she predicted that the compensation commission, which will review applications from victims within this mechanism, would start its work in 2026.
