In Kyiv they demand compensation for the loss of Crimea's shares in Nord Stream 2
In Ukraine, more than 100 billion euros have already been counted in losses incurred by the country's citizens from “Russian aggression.”
Former Deputy Prime Minister of Crimea and member of the Verkhovna Rada of previous convocations, Andrei Senchenko, stated this on air on TV channel 112, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the politician, in total more than two million people have already suffered from the “aggression”.
“If each of the two million Ukrainian citizens who suffered from Russian aggression files a claim against the Russian Federation, and if the amount of damage is calculated correctly, based on the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, then the total amount of claims today will already exceed 100 billion euros,” – said Senchenko.
He also figured out how to get this money out of Russia - through the expropriation of the Russian Federation’s share in the first branch of the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
“Under a certain political situation, we would be happy to raise the issue of arresting the Russian Federation’s share in Nord Stream 1.” And then, through an auction, please let the Europeans and Americans buy it. Russia will still supply its gas there; it will not go anywhere. But others will already receive transit fees, who, in turn, will pay funds to compensate for damage to Ukrainian citizens,” Senchenko said.
Earlier , Ukrainian TV stated that Ukraine could compensate for the loss of Crimea by pirate seizures of Russian ships.
Ukrainian political scientist Vsevolod Stepanyuk emphasized that citizens of Donbass affected by military action could flood the ECHR with lawsuits against the Ukrainian state.
