Switzerland has joined the Register of Damages of Ukraine created by the Council of Europe.
This is reported on the website of the Swiss government.
This register is actually a database of evidence of damages, destruction and losses caused by the Russian invasion to the Ukrainian state and all individuals and legal entities. It will become part of a compensation mechanism that will help collect compensation from Russia in accordance with international law, in particular at the expense of Russian assets.
Switzerlandʼs membership in this mechanism will soon be officially approved by the Council of Europe.
- The agreement on the register of damages from Russian aggression was adopted in May of this year at the summit of the Council of Europe in Iceland. Then 43 states joined it. Azerbaijan, Armenia, Bosnia, Hungary, Serbia and Turkey refused to join.
