Ukraine also wants to achieve the adoption of a UN General Assembly resolution that will be the basis for the creation of an international compensation mechanism.

According to German news agency DPA, the damage Ukraine has suffered as a result of the Russian attack is much higher, but the amount of $300 billion corresponds to the international assets of the Central Bank of Russia, which were frozen under sanctions.
