Finland has seized Russian assets worth tens of millions at the request of Naftogaz.

Real estate and other assets of Russia are subject to seizure.
По запросу "Нафтогаза" Финляндия заморозила российские активы на суммы в десятки миллионов.

The Helsinki District Court has granted the request of Naftogaz of Ukraine and five other companies from the Naftogaz Group to seize Russian assets located in Finland. According to Naftogaz's press service, the assets subject to seizure include real estate and other properties of Russia, valued in the tens of millions of dollars.

This event marks a significant precedent: it is the first known successful seizure of Russian assets outside Ukraine, carried out based on an arbitration ruling related to claims from Ukrainian companies regarding the expropriation of their property in Crimea in 2014. The head of the Naftogaz Group, Alexey Chernyshov, emphasized that this is an important intermediate step towards the final recovery of compensations for the company. Naftogaz continues to work on enforcing the arbitration decision and is considering the possibility of seizing Russian assets in other jurisdictions.

Additionally, interest continues to accrue on the amount owed by Russia until the compensation stipulated by the arbitration ruling is fully paid.
