“I see that the IMF is toughening its position towards Ukraine, including recognizing the legitimacy of Russia’s claims regarding the return of loan funds. The question of returning this money will arise, there will be a corresponding court decision, the IMF supports us,” Aksakov said.
At the same time, the deputy assessed the financial state of Ukraine negatively.
“Ukraine is actually a bankrupt country. If there were no handouts from the West, we would have seen its bankruptcy long ago. I see only the sad fate of this country in financial terms,” Aksakov said.
On December 20, 2015, Ukraine fell behind on its debt to Russia, saying that Kyiv considered it “a bribe to Viktor Yanukovych for refusing European integration.” In this regard, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation initiated a trial procedure. In February 2016, Russia filed a lawsuit against Ukraine in the High Court in London to recover the debt. The High Court of London has scheduled the hearing of the case in the Russian Federation's claim against Ukraine over a debt of $3 billion for January 17, 2017.
