The Danube Commission condemned Russia and created a Register of Losses from Aggression

According to Міністерство інфраструктури: Recently, the Danube Commission supported Ukraine's initiative to create a Register of Losses from Russian aggression. This decision was approved by the majority of participating countries, including Austria, Germany, Croatia, Moldova, Romania, and Slovakia.

“This is an important decision that strengthens support for Ukraine, allows for the documentation of losses, and restores justice for the Danube ports affected by Russian aggression. We are grateful to our international partners for their solidarity and support on this issue,” said Oleksii Kuleba, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine.

Russian attacks on Ukrainian Danube ports damage port infrastructure, destroy vessels and cargo, and create threats to international logistics and shipping safety on the Danube. The creation of the Register is an important step in documenting these losses and establishing an international legal basis for holding the aggressor state accountable.

Commission Meeting

The meeting began with a moment of silence as an expression of solidarity with Ukraine and in honor of those who died from Russian aggression.

The Commission's decision aligns with the approaches of the Council of Europe regarding the Register of Losses, which allows documenting damages according to international standards. The Danube Commission also condemned the military actions of the Russian Federation as violations of the Belgrade Convention.

The adoption of the decision by the Danube Commission to support Ukraine's initiative to create a Register of Losses from Russian aggression is an important step in supporting Ukraine globally and restoring justice for those affected by Ukraine's military actions. Such decisions are crucial for strengthening international support and condemning the aggression of violating states.
