Ukraine-Russia total mutual claims amount to almost $100 billion

Mutual claims filed by Russia and Ukraine in lawsuits and other legal claims from Stockholm to The Hague amount to almost $100 billion.

Censor.NET reports citing Bloomberg.

The $3 billion lawsuit Russia filed against Ukraine in London last week over a bond default is just a fraction of the $63 billion Ukraine is seeking in lawsuits and other legal claims from Stockholm to The Hague over Putin's annexation of Crimea. Russian gas exporter Gazprom PJSC, meanwhile, is demanding about $32 billion in unpaid bills, pushing total claims from both sides to almost $100 billion.

Many of the cases may take years to resolve and cost tens of millions of dollars in legal fees alone. And there's no guarantee that either side will be able to collect if it wins because that would entail hunting for state assets abroad - a complex, costly and time-consuming process in its own right.
