Crimea loss to cost Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars - PM
Russia's annexation of the Crimea peninsula could cost Kiev hundreds of billions of dollars, Ukraine's interim prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said on Friday, quoted by Interfax news agency, according to AFP.
Speaking to reporters in Kiev after signing a deal in Brussels on closer ties with the EU, Yatsenyuk said Russia was seizing "dozens of installations" from Ukraine worth "not billions, but hundreds of billions of dollars."
"Russia can only wait patiently: in the near future the state of Ukraine will be filing complaints before international courts," he said.
