There are also agreements regarding reconstruction projects of Ukraine, as well as in the area of ​​sanctions.

He emphasized that during the dialogues with the ministers of Northern European countries, they discussed the creation of a special tribunal regarding the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine.

"The Ukrainian peace formula was discussed with each of the delegations, in great detail - the possible participation of each state in the implementation of the points of the formula. We are also actively working to create a special tribunal regarding the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine. We are working at different levels," Zelenskyi said.
