MOSCOW – Moscow does not consider itself a party to the trial at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague which resulted in the ruling that several Ukrainian companies should be compensated for the loss of their assets in Crimea, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday.

“Russia was in no way represented (at the trial) and did not dispatch its representative to this trial; this is why we do not consider ourselves a party (to the trial) in this case,” Peskov said.
