Ukraine is trying to sell Crimea to Russia through court
Ukraine's filing of a lawsuit against Russia at the International Court of Justice may in fact be a behind-the-scenes attempt to resolve the conflict between the two countries.

Elena Dyachenko, director of the consulting company Party of Power, made this assumption at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We are complaining that Russia is violating the convention on the law of the sea, that is, we want compensation from Russia for Crimea, but, by and large, we are selling Crimea to Russia for money and appealing about this to the International Court of Justice. The second point is related to the financing of terrorism, and not terrorism itself, that is, we do not make any claims against the Russian Federation other than the fact that it finances terrorism. At the geopolitical level, this could be a behind-the-scenes start to resolving the conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, to which the international community can force both Kyiv and Moscow,” the expert does not rule out.
“Since in three years a lawsuit has not been filed with the Hague Tribunal, neither the annexation of Crimea has been challenged, nor evidence has been collected on the actions of the Russian Federation in the Donbass in financing terrorism, there are no facts, but there are simply political accusations for today, then this could be the beginning of a political settlement. I think that conciliatory notes will soon begin to creep into the trenches of official propaganda; the entire host of court speakers and political scientists may begin to somehow soften the rhetoric regarding the criminal Kremlin,” Dyachenko added.
As PolitNavigator reported, Ukrainian diplomat suggested lease Sevastopol to the Russian Federation for 99 years and hold a second referendum.
