"In addition, the Ukrainian side did not notify the Russian Federation, in accordance with the procedure established by relevant international conventions, about consideration of the application for recognition and enforcement of this ruling on the territory of Ukraine," reads the report.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Kyiv's Court of Appeals on July 23 granted the motion filed by Ukraine's state-owned bank Oschadbank and ruled to execute a ruling issued by the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) to recover US$1.3 billion from the Russian Federation as compensation for the seizure of bank assets in Crimea.
