Russia must face justice for war crimes committed in Ukraine under any future peace deal and pay for the destruction it has wrought, EU says
Russia should face justice for war crimes committed in Ukraine under any future peace deal and pay for the destruction it has wrought, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Sunday.
"The war has to end in a manner that there is accountability -- not only economic recovery and justice, but also accountability," says EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.
He also suggested that $300 billion of Russian state assets frozen in the West could eventually be used to help Ukraine rebuild after the war.
"That could be used in order to pay for the accountability and for the compensation for the people who suffer it and for the destruction that has been produced by the Russian invasion," Borrell said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin faces an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court and some of Moscow's lower-ranking troops have been tried in absentia in Ukraine for individual incidents.
Ukraine has made prosecuting Russia's crimes a key part of its proposal for any eventual peace agreement.
As an American, I'm glad that at least someone is willing to take a strong stance like this
A strong stance would be saying you're committing troops to the defense of Ukraine. This is not much more than the international political version of thoughts and prayers.
Unfortunately this is really just the EU's version of "thoughts and prayers".
Austria's Raiffeisen bank still has not left russia after almost 3 years of full scale war.
And let's not forget how Merkel greenlighted Nord Stream 2 right after the beginning of the war; the invasion of Crimea.

Seriously: The guy may be a hypocrite sodomist, but that accusation pales in comparison to also being the guy who connects a malevolent US president with malevolent SV capital.
