Iryna Mudra considers that the confiscated russian assets should be used to restore and protect the energy sector

Confiscated russian assets should be used to restore and protect Ukraine's energy facilities.

This was stated by Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Iryna Mudra during a discussion at the Embassy of the Netherlands in Ukraine on the possibility of bringing the aggressor state of russia to justice for the shelling of energy facilities.

In particular, Mudra noted that it is important to create a special tribunal for the crime of aggression, an international compensation mechanism, and confiscate russian assets to fill the compensation mechanism.

According to her, at the end of last year, Ukraine's total reconstruction needs were estimated at almost $486 billion.

"All damage to the energy infrastructure will be recorded, claims will be filed and compensation will be determined. But it will be paid if you make the right choice and confiscate frozen assets to finance the compensation mechanism," Mudra emphasized.

The deputy head of the OP thanked the United States for adopting a progressive law. "About $300 billion of russian state assets are frozen around the world. I urge everyone to join this initiative," she said and added that sanctions against russia should be strengthened.

The meeting participants also discussed strengthening cooperation with international partners to record and document russia's war crimes and to strengthen the fight against sanctions evasion.

The event was also attended by Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin and foreign diplomats.
