The Moldovan parliament has ratified the International Convention on State Responsibility for Damages Caused by Aggression, a key legal instrument that allows Ukraine to formally claim reparations from Russia for war-related damages.
The ratification was approved during a parliamentary session on Thursday, July 23, marking a significant step in the legislative process.
This development follows the parliament's earlier passage of the bill in its first reading, which laid the groundwork for the final approval.
The convention provides a structured mechanism for Ukraine to seek compensation for the extensive destruction and economic losses incurred during the conflict.
The ratification aligns with broader international efforts to hold Russia accountable for its actions.
It complements other measures, such as the recent passage of a Ukraine aid bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, which was supported by both Democrats and Republicans.
