As she said, the Netherlands has undertaken the responsibility of the leading country in the restoration of justice within the Peace Formula of Ukraine and already accepts and supports the Register of Damage for Ukraine and the International Centre for Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine.

"This centre is the first step towards the special tribunal, which we have offered to host The Hague as well," added Hanke Bruins Slot.
