The Economic Court of Odesa Region has recovered UAH 117.5 million from the Russian Federation following a lawsuit filed by the Odesa subsidiary of Integrated Logistics Systems.
The company claimed compensation for damages caused by a missile strike on the night of May 8, 2023, the Dumskaya newspaper reported.
The direct damage was estimated at UAH 12.5 million, with another UAH 105 million in lost profits. The Security Service of Ukraine has launched a pre-trial investigation under Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code (violation of the laws and customs of war).
The court stated that in such cases, a foreign state does not enjoy legal immunity: it is a case of Russia causing damage to a Ukrainian legal entity on the territory of Ukraine in violation of the UN Charter and other international agreements and conventions.
