"As for the reconstruction of the Donbas - I think it is logical to put the question of reparations to the Russian Federation. They destroyed the Donbas, and Russia should pay for the restoration of Donetsk and Luhansk," Yatseniuk said.
"They [Russia] have destroyed our economy, they carried out a military intervention, a military aggression. And they should be held responsible for that," he said.
As reported earlier, in December 2014 Yatseniuk said that Ukraine submitted a number of lawsuits against the Russian Federation seeking compensation for damage caused by its military aggression.
Earlier, Yatseniuk said that the amount of damage from the military actions in the east of Ukraine totaled $8 billion.
"Recently, we have assessed the rebuilding of infrastructure as UAH 8 billion. Now the hryvnia [sign] can be replaced with a dollar [sign]," Yatseniuk said.
