You're reading: Justice Minister: Ukraine not to seize Russian private assets

 The Ukrainian government will seize none of the Russian personal or corporate assets in Ukraine as compensation for losses in Crimea, Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko said on Monday.

 “It is purely an issue of state assets on the territory of Ukraine and neighboring states,” Petrenko told a briefing in Kyiv.

What these assets are will be known as soon as lawsuits are filed, he said.
