You're reading: Yatsenyuk: Ukraine robbed of hundreds of billions from Russia’s nationalization of Crimean property

Ukraine has estimated a damage as a result of the nationalization of Ukraine's property in Crimea by Russia as hundreds of billion of US dollars and is going to appeal against this at international arbitration tribunals, Premier of Ukraine Arseniy Yatseniuk told journalists at Boryspil airport on Friday.

 “Today we’re engaged in a serious conversation on the financial
responsibility of Russia for what happened in Crimea. It was Russia
that, using weapons, committed a holdup on Ukraine and nationalized
dozens of Ukraine’s state-owned facilities. We are talking not about
billions, but about hundreds billions of US dollars,” the premier said.

“Russia should be calm: in the shortest terms it will obtain the
relevant lawsuits from the Ukrainian state at international tribunals,”
he added.
