During an interview with Ukrainian television channels, he stated that the basic claim is a claim by Naftogaz against the Russian Gazprom for $6 billion. “We demand that Russia reconsider the contract,” the prime minister said.
According to him, Ukraine filed a claim with the European Court for damages of more than 1 trillion. hryvnia in connection with the annexation of Crimea. An appeal was also made by the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry in connection with “Russian financing of terrorism.”
The Prime Minister emphasized that Ukraine will make sure that every private Ukrainian company also has the opportunity to sue the Russian Federation regarding any fact of confiscation of property. He noted that the world's leading law firms have been hired for these purposes.
“For example, our Oschadbank in Crimea had 300 kg of gold. There were 4 billion UAH in the Central Bank of the NBU in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea,” he said.
“It seems like a nuclear power, like a member of the UN Security Council, but simply thieves,” summed up the prime minister.
