They will not want - we will force: in Naftogaz told how they will take $ 5 billion in the Russian Federation

Naftogaz Board Chairman Alexei Chernyshov said that a large process of renewing justice that will cover the whole world will begin soon. Naftogaz of Ukraine launched a mechanism for compulsory recovery of compensation from Russia for assets in the temporarily occupied Crimea in accordance with the decision of the Hague arbitration. The chairman of the company Alexei Chernyshov wrote about it in his column for "Economic Truth".

He explained that on April 12, when the arbitration tribunal under the permanent chamber of the Arbitration Court in the Hague obliged Russia to pay $ 5 billion in compensation. As of July, the Russian Federation has not transferred funds, and therefore refuses to voluntarily execute the court decision. "In principle, we did not expect another from the state whose credo is to violate all the existing civilized norms.

Therefore, our team together with foreign advisers, without waiting for the dry ink under the Hague decision, began to develop and implement a strategy for its enforcement," he wrote. Thus, on June 23, Naftogaz and another 5 companies of the group were filed with the US Federal District Court in Columbia Colombi's request for recognition of the arbitration decision and admission to its enforcement. The group's interests are presented by the multinational law firm Covington & Burling LLP.

"This is how the great process of renewing justice begins, which will cover the whole world," Alexei Chernyshov added. Meanwhile, on July 6, Gazprom Chairman Alexei Miller threatened that if the Ukrainian company does not give up claims, Russia would impose sanctions due to "unfair actions" by Naftogaz. "This can block any operations between Russian companies and Naftogaz," the Russian said.

We will remind, earlier Focus wrote that NJSC "Naftogaz of Ukraine" initiated a new arbitration with the Russian gas monopolist "Gazprom". It is known that the Ukrainian company demands from the Russian money for the service provided for the organization of natural gas transportation in the territory of Ukraine, since Gazprom was not fully paid.
