By committing to a strong legal, political, and military European support package for Ukraine and ensuring that justice prevails through international accountability, we recognize the importance of standing firm in the face of tyranny. Ukraine is worth fighting for — not just for its own sake but for the broader fight for freedom and democracy that influences every corner of the globe.

War criminals are war criminals and must be punished.
It is a basic concept and truth — crimes must be punished, not doing so leads to more crime.
Half measures will not suffice — Russia must be defeated, and its war criminals must be called to account.
