She stated that resolving this issue will cause debate but it is clear that the aggressor state must pay.
"There will be debates as to how to make the aggressor pay for it as this is the only fair decision. Justice will likely be one of the main challenges in the future, specifically the issue of how to make the guilty bear the responsibility. It is normal that democratic countries, the EU, the US, and all other countries are supporting Ukraine on this path, but in the end the check must be paid by the one responsible for all this damage," she remarked.
Background: In May at the European Council summit in Iceland an agreement on the Register of Damage Caused by Russian Aggression was adopted. Then, 43 states joined it. Recently Switzerland joined it as well.
