The security guarantees extended by the European Union and the United States to Ukraine are paving the way for potential peace negotiations with Russia. This development was highlighted by acting Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof on Tuesday.

Schoof emphasized the critical need to ascertain whether Russia, under President Putin's leadership, truly seeks peace. 'Now we have to see if Russia, if Putin, really wants peace and we will see that in the coming days,' he stated.

As preparations unfold for a key conference focused on establishing an International Claims Commission for Ukraine, the aim is to validate claims of war damages, which Russia may be obligated to repay. The coming days are crucial in the pursuit of peace and reparations.
