Let me respond to your previous question about Donbass.
Occupied Donbass today is a real hellhole. Half the population, which was almost five million, has fled, two-thirds to Ukraine and one-third probably to Russia. Essentially all industry is standing still. Donetsk has an elementary food industry and shops, hardly anything more. All the banks were robbed and there are now a few Russian state banks that are operating.
This is a massive cost. I did a report for the Atlantic Council earlier this year and assessed that the total asset cost of Crimea and the Donbass is $100 billion. Ukrainian private companies are now claiming in arbitrage $10 billion from Russia, essentially in the private arbitrage in The Hague. The first case of $189 million has been won and more are coming. The biggest is Naftogaz, with $7 billion. The Russians are very bad at international arbitrage. They always lose. So this will be a big thing. They also need some help from Canada in these matters.
Thank you.
