Σχεδιάζοντας το Σπίτι Η φαντασία σμίγει με την αλληλεγγύη, στον παιδικό διαγωνισμό σκίτσου της «σχεδίας». Οι μικροί μας φίλοι καλούνται να επιστρατεύσουν τον δημιουργικό τους οίστρο, για να χρωματίσουν με το πινέλο τους την έννοια του «σπιτιού».  «Χάρηκα πολύ με τη νίκη του κοριτσιού μας. Έχει σημειώσει πολύ μεγάλη άνοδο, είναι συνεπέστατο και τρέφει μεγάλη αγάπη για τα εικαστικά. Χάρηκα, όμως, και για όλα τα παιδιά που συμμετείχαν στο διαγωνισμό», είχε μοιραστεί μαζί μας ο κ.

Judicial responses and the fight against impunity in Ukraine

Ministers took stock of ongoing work on judicial responses and the fight against impunity regarding crimes committed in connection with Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. This includes support for the investigation and prosecution of war crimes and the other most serious crimes, as well as action to ensure the full implementation of the individual and economic sanctions adopted.



In the last week we have witnessed more horrific and indiscriminate attacks by Russia targeting Ukrainian citizens and civilian infrastructure. These are the latest in a long list of atrocities committed by Russia throughout Ukraine. The EU stands firmly behind the Ukrainian people and will work hand in hand with the Ukrainian authorities and the international community to bring those responsible to justice.Pavel Blažek, Czech Minister of Justice

The authorities of six EU member states and Ukraine, with the support of Eurojust, have established a joint investigation team or joined it later to facilitate the exchange of information and evidence and support criminal investigations into the crimes committed in Ukraine. The role of Eurojust has also been strengthened to allow the agency to preserve, store and analyse evidence of war crimes. Member states are providing an additional €7 million to support the International Criminal Court, as well as forensic support to Ukraine for the collection of evidence.
