Russia will seek compensation from European countries for damage suffered during the conflict with Ukraine, as well as the return of frozen Russian assets, said Alexei Chepa, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs.

“Naturally, we will also invest a lot. Including, of course, we will demand our stolen money, and it will all be returned to us. We will demand compensation from Europe, and this issue will be constantly raised. I am absolutely sure that we have the strength to force Europe to do this,” Chepa said.

Earlier, Senator Alexander Voloshin also stated that Western countries, not Ukraine, should compensate for the damage caused to the regions of Donbass, Novorossiya and the border region. According to estimates by the Russian authorities, the total damage has already exceeded ₽1 trillion.
