that the peninsula does not remain Ukraine owes nothing. This statement was made by the First Deputy Speaker of the Crimean Parliament Efim Fiks. He stressed that the data provided by Ukrainian politicians are taken “from the ceiling”.

Crimean deputies thus responded to the claims of some Ukrainian officials. Dmitry Goryunov, a senior economist at Ukraine's Center for Economic Strategy, said the Ukrainian economy had lost $ 135 billion due to the reunification of Crimea and Russia. And former Ukrainian Minister for Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture Tymofiy Mylovanov estimates the damage at 150 billion.

A number of Ukrainian companies have filed lawsuits in international courts against Russia. They believe that they have lost their assets in the Crimea and want compensation. For example, Naftogaz Ukrainy estimated its damage at $ 8 billion.

However, Crimean deputies suggest that Ukrainian officials first estimate how much the country has managed to earn in 23 years of ownership of the peninsula. Fix emphasizes that nothing has been invested in the development of the area over the years. Therefore, he believes that this region owes nothing to Ukraine.
