Politicians recalled the declarations of the last EU-Ukraine summit on work to use Russian public and private assets to support reconstruction and compensation for damages in accordance with European and international law. Leaders stressed that for the Union to be credible, it must go beyond recurring commitments and accelerate immediately.
