Recital 46 a (new)
(46a) Once the war has ended and an agreement has been reached on the cessation of hostilities between the parties involved in the conflict, Russia must assume responsibility for reparations and make a substantial contribution to the reconstruction of Ukraine and compensate the victims of Russia's aggression. The calculation of those reparations must be based on the updated assessment of the material and non- material damage caused by Russia to Ukraine during the conflict. With that in mind, the Union and its Member States are working to establish a legal basis and appropriate instruments for the confiscation of Russian assets for the purpose of financing Ukraine’s reconstruction and compensating the victims of Russia’s aggression.
