The company said that a Finnish court in Helsinki had ruled in favor Ukraine’s state-owned gas and oil company Naftogaz, and ordered the seizure in Finland of Russian assets worth tens and millions of dollars.
According to a ruling by the Permanent Arbitration Court in The Hague in 2023, Russia must pay $5 billion in compensation to the Naftogaz Group for assets illegally confiscated during the Russian occupation in Crimea in 2014.
“Since Russia has refused to pay Naftogaz in full the funds stipulated in The Hague Decision, we continue to use every available mechanism to collect them.” In a statement, Oleksii Chernyshov said, “Today, we are one more step closer to restoring Justice.”
Naftogaz, without giving further details, said that the Finnish court had ordered the seizure “of real estate and other assets”.
According to the company’s statement, Russia violated an agreement between the two nations on protecting each other’s investments when it illegally annexed Crimea and expropriated Naftogaz’s strategically important energy investments.
The statement said that today’s ruling marked the first time this decision was enforced in a court of a third country.
The company stated that interest on the remainder of Russia’s obligations will continue to accrue up until the full payment is made of the arbitration.
