Alan Riley: How Ukraine can recover its stolen assets from kleptocrats and Russia
Conservative estimates are that ex-President Viktor Yanukovych and his cronies allegedly stole tens of billions of dollars from Ukraine before he fled power on Feb. 22, 2014.
Ukraine has suffered from a negligent and criminal administration, then revolution, war, invasion, annexation, and a situation close to economic collapse. One can argue that turning to legal solutions for recovery of some of the losses that Ukraine has suffered is not realistic or practical.
