This opinion is expressed by the president of the Institute of National Strategy, Mikhail Remizov, who is quoted by the weekly Argumenty i Fakty.
“I doubt that this kind of claim in relation to Crimea can generally be the subject of legal consideration,” the expert noted, clarifying that only disputes over the ownership of individual objects – sanatoriums, enterprises, etc. – can be considered in court. “Although, since international institutions do not recognize Crimea as part of Russia, then even for these assets it will be quite problematic to impose mandatory compensation on the Russian Federation.”
The publication also cites the opinion of the vice-speaker of the Crimean parliament Andrei Kozenko, who believes that since Crimea did not develop during its stay as part of Ukraine, the Kiev authorities only divided lands and property, Crimeans have every right to go to court with a counterclaim for the so-called lost benefit.
