Kiev will demand that Russia pay at least $1 trillion for Crimea and Donbass, Ukraine’s Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said on Thursday.
“We have two key cases and these two legal cases concern both Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the intervention in Donetsk and Lugansk,” Yatsenyuk said, adding that the first case is worth over $1 trillion and the final sum of damages will be announced during the consideration of the case.
According to Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin is surprised by Ukraine’s plans to demand Russia pay at least $1 trillion for Crimea and Donbass.
“Crimea is the territory of Russia. Donbas is the territory of Ukraine. What is this $1 trillion about? It is not clear,” Peskov told TASS.

pay for it?
does this mean the kievans consider crimea and donbass tho be no longer “ukrainian territory?”
in 1991 there was the same argument between the russian federation and ukraine about redrawing the post-Soviet borders where Russia proposed crimea was russian and ukraine thought something else.
nothing has changed although it took russia 24 years to correctly lawfully acquire the crimean peninsula.
next, kiev will want more discounts on gas and other concessions. Yats and porky are amateurs , no contest.

President Putin needs to tell Yatsenyuk to go fuck himself!
