Ukraine will launch a new international body to seek massive financial compensation from Russia for war damages. President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet European leaders in The Hague on Tuesday to establish the International Claims Commission.
The commission will document losses from Russian attacks and alleged war crimes. The goal is to secure hundreds of billions of dollars for Ukraine's reconstruction.
This move follows what Zelensky called "productive" talks with U.S. and European leaders on Monday. Those discussions aimed at reaching a potential ceasefire agreement.
The new commission represents a major legal step to hold Russia financially accountable for the destruction caused by its invasion.
