“Of course, Ukraine has the right, if it wants, to demand compensation for its losses in Crimea,” the economist noted. – Surely it is possible to reach an agreement on compensation issues even with Russia. You just need to understand one thing: if the political leadership moves in the direction of demanding compensation, even very large ones, this will mean that if compensation is received, they will have to give up claims for the return of Crimea, and this is unlikely to be understood politically by the majority of voters.”
