European nations unite to hold Russia accountable for aggression in Ukraine.

Over 40 European countries have backed a system to estimate the damage Russia is causing during the war in Ukraine, in the hopes Moscow can be forced to compensate victims and help rebuild the nation once the conflict is over. The outcome of the meeting is a new office to set up a register of damages that will allow victims of the war to report the harm they have suffered. The United States, Japan, and Canada have also joined. The running costs will be financed by the signatories.
