"We have two key cases and these two legal cases concern both Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the intervention in Donetsk and Luhansk," 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.
Ukraine’s banks and other companies will sue Russia "in all the courts," he said.
