President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address on March 5 that the “world is strong enough to punish Russia for the war."
“Step by step, we are moving towards ensuring that the terrorist state is held fully responsible for what has been committed against our state, against our people,” Zelensky said at the United for Justice conference, which was attended by a number of lawyers from Ukraine, Europe and other countries.

“We will provide the world with enough courage and tools to make this punishment happen. Confidence in this is growing every week,” Zelensky said.
