Putin will be responsible for war crimes in Ukraine, and Russia will pay for destruction
Russia will pay to rebuild war-torn infrastructure, and Putin will be prosecuted for war crimes and other atrocities.
G7 countries leaders said in the statement, published by press service of the White House.
"Today, we reaffirm our unwavering support for and solidarity with Ukraine in the face of ongoing Russian war of aggression for as long as it takes. We condemn Russia’s continuous inhumane and brutal attacks targeting critical infrastructure, in particular energy and water facilities, and cities across Ukraine, and recall that indiscriminate attacks and attacks on the civilian population or civilian objects, constitute a war crime," the document says.
Leaders of the leading states also condemned those who support Putin's illegal war.
"We are determined to help Ukraine repair, restore and defend its critical energy and water infrastructure. We will help Ukraine in meeting its winter preparedness needs, will continue to support Ukraine’s civilian resilience, and will further enhance our efforts on this during the international conference to be held in Paris on 13 December," the statement says.
World leaders especially emphasize that Russia and President Putin will ultimately have to personally pay for restoration of critical infrastructure damaged or destroyed by their brutal war:
"There can be no impunity for war crimes and other atrocities. We will hold President Putin and those responsible to account in accordance with international law. We reiterate that Russia’s irresponsible nuclear rhetoric is unacceptable and that any use of chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons would be met with severe consequences".
