Since the start of the war in Ukraine Russia has seized businesses valued at over $100 Billion from Overseas Companies as multiple businesses have been NATIONALIZED or taken over for a token sum. However Russian Companies also had investments overseas and these assets and businesses are now being SEIZED by countries such as Germany and Poland in order to protect the supply of energy. In this video I look at this issue in more detail and discuss the legal action now being taken by Russia.

Ground News makes a lot of sense as a sponsor for your channel.
It dosent matter if it cost 50 cent or 1 dollar it is what value the news are for peoples to pay so a discount of 50% dosent matter! And you are pretty boring too as it seems like you are some kinda robot feeling when you talk
The sheep dog .......too funny!
@@eddale5557why do you look at this channel then ...?
Ppl actually pay to hear your predictions, how many have come correct?
Funny how Russia has no problem breaking international law when it wants to but suddenly remembers international law when bad things are done back to them.
What is the cause, what is the reaction? You probably got it wrong.
@@alodwichAwww, a russia-apologist.. how sad.
Not exactly a fan of two wrongs make a right, I don't disagree with freezing Russian assets, but stealing it is another issue.
I personally think they should be frozen until when/if Russia has a legitimate government.
Russia must pay for all its damage in Ukraine.
The assets will of course be taken and used. The rest must Russian taxpayers compensate.
@@Vi0ar Russia illegally invaded Ukraine it is not up to Ukraine or the West to pay repatriations for this, Russia should pay we have the Russian money and we should redistribute it, they must learn there is no going back now they have past the point of no return for decades, Russia also firstly seized western assets so it doesn't have a leg to stand on, it will never pay them back either!?!
How can a terrorist state can use the international court?
Only as far as they have bought governments, bought judges, and are clients of banks.
@@foundonesChina, N Korea and Russia are in a league of their own.
@@foundones
Good job with the whataboutism. Do you have something intelligent or constructive to add?
@@foundoneshow's the weather in St Petersburg?
@@foundones Cool, maybe you could supply us with some of that
Good, typical reaction of a psychopath, "you can't do to me what I've been doing for the last two years!"
It's more like “the last twenty-two years”.😇
To expand on the 22 year comment, Putin has been stealing from Russia since coming to power, if not before.
Ironically, that does sort of make him an expert on stealing...
Right, reminds me alot of Trump 😂
but we can tho
@@ettoreatalan8303 you're so right. People really are quick to forget all the bullshit Russia has been doing over the years with the horror of the war they started. But they've been assholes for so long.
The US gas pipeline ransomware attack is one such example. For those who didn't follow the aftermath:
-DarkSide (publicly Russian origin org) attacked colonial pipeline extorted ~5 million in BTC and made far more serious economic damage to affected regions
-US government investigated if the Russian government was involved
-A little over a week after the attack DarkSide claims to shut down operations claiming they received pressure from the US government.
That last part is incredibly unlikely. They're a cyberwarfare group. There's no realistic attack they could do on Russian soil that isn't extremely escallatory (and Ukraine wasn't even invaded). So that's Russia shutting them down if anything at all. But nobody has been prosecuted for the crime. It's unlikely they're even shut down. And even if Russia chose to shut them down they'd recycle the hackers into new orgs or just rebranded.
BlackCat was recently in the news for targeting hospitals. The US government claims they're a rebrand of DarkSide.
Russian hacker groups are as plausible to be independent as Wagner is. And Russian hackers are a huge part of the online criminal activity that goes on. Even if it were just Russian inaction providing hacker groups with a shield is like letting terror groups station their rocket artillery in your territory and fire at your rivals. You're culpable. But even that situation is implausible. It's likely they take orders from the Russian state about the level of targeting. That's why BlackCats retargeting to hospitals is newsworthy. Because that's escallatory when you know that basically every diplomat on earth knows that attacks like that are just the Russian government. Going after innocent lives is just not cool even for blackhats. Russia isn't shy about murder though.
Puttin should show up to the Hauge in person to make his claims.
Yes, we will happily listen to what he has to say before he’s arrested for war crimes and genocide!
Hauge??
HAGUE
@@ruscheinHague 😅
gewoon DEN HAAG! :)
Germany should just pay them $1. Isn't that what the little dictator did?
Bring tem in court
They can have 1 RUB. Putin even said, that he only wants to be paid in rubles.
😂
Perfect !
@@mcbonnesHe said Rubles plural. Make it 2 Rubles.
So killing innocent people is ok for him but losing money makes him angry… those guys have no shame whatsoever
Authoritarians' core belief is that the laws should be applied differently based upon who they are applied to. Those on top should be fully protected by the law but in no way bound by it, those on the bottom should be entirely bound by it, but in no way protected.
Shame !!!? what is shame ?
The kleptomaniac in the Kremlin has no sense of irony.
this comment is ironic
@@dont.accept.the.hooverany chance of a few more conspiracy theories?
Different rules for me than for thee.
Or hypocrisy.
That goes with the territory, considering his Aspergers.
Threatens the world with war, he expects people to fucking be nice? Is He stupid?
Yes, he is. He is ignorant and evil. He uses rape as a weapon in war and rolls out the red carpet for other evil dictators. When you think Putin, think Dobby's evil twin with the megalomaniac tendencies and morals of Hitler. Luckily for the world, Putin has the brain power of an angry two year old and advisors with the skill of a magic 8 ball. Now the real question is how long will all that is good in the world allow this evil plague to fester in the world, killing good and innocent peoples?
Yes he is stupid, the question is are the leaders of the west any smarter...
Yes.
Yes, super stupid.
Nope, just crazy.
what about the 400 airplane Russia stolen..
What about all they stole and destroyed in Ukraine.
What about the children stolen, the lives stolen, the properties stolen, the life destroyed..
F. ruSSia
500
There will be a judgement day and Russia needs to pay up for everything. They will be held accountable and pay with interest. This is an amount that exceeds the Russian budget several times and leads to bankruptcy. There is no long term escape without the total collapse of the Russian State. It might take two years, five years or ten years, but this will end one day, and it will end in disaster.
War reparations...
I am still of the opinion that Ukraine should be in the courts suing Russia for TRILLIONS in damages SO FAR!
Absolutely! This is Ukraine's right!!
Reparations happen after wars. There will be bean counters keeping a running total.
After Russia surrenders.
Better wait more until Russia is in no position to make any demand.
They have a lot of evidence.
Poland should countersue Russia for reparations and then the courts could use the seized Russian assets to pay Russian debt to Poland. Then Poland can use that to find a balance between supporting their own people and assisting Ukraine
Russia did invade Poland in 1939 , cause damage and deaths.. there would be a lot of interest on the compensation due…
@@mike4480 Not to forget the USSR milking Poland until the late 80's.
Are you 12 yrs old?
@@justicedemocrat9357Why do you deem it necessary to state your "thinking" age?
What goes around comes around and Putin your time will come to answer for all your war crimes
looks like the collective west time has come to answer all their war crimes NOT Putin
the KGB will never let him to answer anything - when he falls, they will let him disappear like the russian czar family in 1918, and then blame him with everything, claiming that they only followed his orders.
He probably won't, but his country will. He has given Russia zero future.
There is no Russian word for "hypocrisy." They do not understand the concept.
A case of the bully being bullied, then goes off crying for help...
International politics is easy to understand once you realise that they behave exactly like poorly raised children on the playground. ALL of them, US and Europe included.
Coward is the word for him.
He should go to the Hague and present his case
yes we are waiting for him 😅
Russia seeking redress and legal rights is laughable. The legal doctrine of clean hands should preclude them from all legal and judicial processes.
the simple act of declaring ruzzia a terrorist state and what he does being genocidal should prompt suspend its UN vetor seat. Then this act could be at the base of any legal case against russian INCLUDING for damages in one country because of the war, energy of food crises. One country should sue even for humanitarian and military help they sent Ukraine.
So the US has clean hands?
Karma putting the smackdown on Putin.
I would think the EU will find a way to change the rules also. No way they are going to entertain Putin's delusions.
It's real simple. If you wish to pursure this court case you must present your case in Brussles personally. Problem solved
So they can confiscate, steal & destroy but not the other way around… typical!!!! 😂
Russia: everyone hates me, for some reason; i know ill sue them.
Russia a Karen Country
from Germany here. The economic consequences of the cut of ruSSian gas and oil have been overcome surprisingly well, within one year after the start of the war. Also, ruSSia blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines (1 of 4 is still intact, btw) was dumbly planned by Putin - already a month earlier the flow of gas was cut. Oil anyway can be easily procured from elsewhere, there is an oversupply worldwide. Prices are now at or below 2021 levels.
ruSSia is the only one who will suffer from this long term : their European customers will NEVER come back. ruSSia has stabbed themselves in the back five times, like their oligarchs usually do after farting in Putins office.
In the same vein, Russia should be able to develop herself and not rely on the EU . After the U.S. Independence, the Leaders came together and Said "we are going to build an America for America and that's self sufficient." They cut off(limit) dependence on other nations, developed using their natural resources. That mentality still works to today
Russia has broken many international agreements - e.g. Aircraft leases and so has shown no respect for international law and so should be denied the right to take legal action in European courts. Also, we generally would insist that contracts used UK law because we were operating in the UK. I believe that it is common that such clauses are used... So does a Russian court have any jurisdiction over these contracts?
Pootie can pound sand
COMMENT
In my view, there needs to be a law passed that allows all European countries to nationalise all Russian assets owed by Russia in Europe.
This should be the consequence of Russia nationalising all European assets in Russia.
For me, the court cases by Russia are a sign of how desperate Russia is for hard currency.
100%. Demanding that people trade in Rubles just shows how desperate they are for some sort of economic viability on the global scale. Hard to buy weapons for war when no one wants your useless currency...
@@TheSickjitsrussia haven´t sold anything on the most important military convention in dubai. And that shows how much trust other nations have in their materials
Not laughing now Lavrov, are you ?
🤣😆😆😆🤣
The problem is the law of the land doesn't apply to criminals it only applies to people that follow the law. Russia is able to do whatever it wants and law abiding country have to abide by the law which is BS
Why do you want to break the law, Robert?
@@DanJuega the law is for everybody country or people aren't above the law. Russia goes by the law when is convenient to them just like China ad oppose to other countries.
Putin is angry at himself - He has failed, destroyed his legacy and will go down in history as a murdering psychopath, who collapsed the Russian Federation due to his backward mentality, imperialism, and brutality 💙💛
@@DanJuega he never said that you are making shit up.
@@nelishoofd He is protesting too much about countries having to abide by the law.
Russia's not capable of building much of anything on their own it seems
I agree. russia doesn't care about building anything and only knows how to destroy.
What do you mean? Ladas are great 🤣
Oh they can build things, they just have a "Procurement issue" where the funds for procurement seem to disappear and a new mega-yacht appears! Great mystery that!
How is Russia able to bring a case or take legal action in Europe? This would require assistance from legal and other institutions that are banned from receiving payment from Russia!
That's because trade and payment restrictions that are in place are full of loopholes.
All you have to do is require putin to show up in Brussles personally in order to pursue the case. Problem solved either way.
@@BevenOiCarrinuinnGovernments are not specific people when it comes to the law. Putin would be tried in Brussels for war crimes as an individual not as a state entity. So Russia could sue as a government in Brussels but Putin doesn’t need to be present. This is precedent for many years. Governments can sue in the International Courts without the head of those governments being present. This is a legal standard, not a moral one. I would like to see Putin pay for his crimes but you can’t change the legal standard just to get him in the jurisdiction to prosecute him.
Yet it is done all the time.
The guy has the money to make 2 missiles that double strike civilians and first responders, dozen or even hundred of times over. So why is he so mad that some of the money is seized?
Cuz he is an asshole...
These funds should be seriously directed to Ukraine's military. This would ensure that we have Ukraine for rebuilding it.
They can dish it out, but can't take it, when it happens to them, just like your typical bully.
I feel SO sorry for putin's high blood pressure
Maybe we get lucky...
Don't feel sorry. He's just managing it...
Let his pressure go high as the sky
I think it is ridiculous for a country that starts a war to sue in courts for damages. Ha Ha!
Biased opinion and uninformed. War was started by Nato
Take the Russian assets & start a Ukraine reperation fund 🙏
Russia: We can invade you, but you can't invade us!
Russia: We can take your assets, but you can't take ours!
Russia: Fuck - you're not listening!
Greetings from Finland. Finally someone outside of Finland talking about Fortum in relation to Russia? This should be interesting episode to hear your thoughts on that.
Rusland d has been stealing for centuries from Finland
It is really a shame that Fortum was, to my knowledge, going forward with some investments in Russia. In addition, we had that plan for nuclear power plant, including Russian partners. That project died only after the Russia's war in Ukraine.
@@anomymouse5043It was unbelievable that even after 2014 anyone thought critical infrastructure projects with Russia were a good idea. The country risk of investing in Russia materialized in a pretty nasty way to the Finnish companies.
Russia: Me bully. So it's OK for me to bully you.
But you dont bullly me. OK?
YAAAAAAYYYYYY WEST !!!! 🎉
Putin is always a fool.
It is very fool to think that he's a fool!!
@@laszlofejes402 thus the fool...
@@laszlofejes402 how's the weather in moscow, ivan
they took the danish brewery carlsberg for 1 doller :) and putin gave it to one of hes freinds :( the brewere lost about 200 mill dollers and they took just because they where leaving russian as support for ucraine
Get that seized money to Ukraine ASAP
Can't believe that Russia thinks it has a right to any of these OVERSEAS assets
I've said it before, i think he will find it hard to bring anything to court, while he has an outstanding arrest warrant.
Not really, that’s now how courts work
Russia is not part of the EU, hence EU regulations and legislations do not apply to Russian companies.
good point
Great reporting. Thank you Joe.
"I invade a sovereign country and suddenly *I'm* the jerk!"
These country to country court filings are a bit of a joke.
Has the USSR/Russia ever invented a Household Appliance???
Maybe some convenient vodka distiller? I asked ChatGPT about known Russian inventions but got very little. Periodic Table of Elements is Russian invention
They invented an umbrella that injects poison capsules into people. They mostly think about killing people and how they are such victims.
@@TheFrewahnot really an invention......a Russian scientist created a table of the known elements
@@michaeldunham3385 It’s not a product but it still counts as a major achievement. Previous attempts were really bad. Ask ChatGPT and see if you get something better
They just steal western technology like tv, the internet, computers then use it to rant about the west and try to discredit us.
Hilarious, poor poots, my heart bleeds.... 😂😂😂
“Sure Mr Putin we’ll put them all on trial, if you could just report to The Hague to talk to us about it”
What is Russian for hypocrisy?
лицемерие
litsemeriye
Russia: Hey, only *we* are allowed to nationalize foreign assets like that!
It seems, even a thief hates getting Stolen from.
The international court has an arrest warrant against him and he goes to the court to sue. What the fudge is going on?
st petersburg and kaliningrad court rullings are irrelevant.
Rules for thee and not for me
Its about time. Just take all the assets, zero compensation.
Rootin Tootin Putin really thought nobody would mind him conducting a 3 day invasion of Ukraine...
I just have to laugh, even though it really is not funny. Russia is acting like the school yard bully - 'I can punch you in the face, and you cannot do anything to me in retaliation'. Sucks to be in the real world.
Germany: We'll take that.
Russia: That's not fair!
Ukraine: 😑😑🤣🤣😑😑
You can sue anyone for anything. You can even win a judge's decision.
But enforcement of that judge's decision is another matter.
Germany can compensate rooooshia with some very hitech stuff like Taurus, and Germany can rely on the Ukrainian postal service for a safe delivery!
Just a thought.
Poland should counter sue Russia for the cost of helping Ukrainian‘s in their country that they are supporting.
As usual everybody loses except lawyers. They win.
Happy st paddys day joe! Thanks for your work.
Have you noticed how strong man dictators spend so much energy and time wanting to destroy and capture what they envy and covet...Ukraine and Taiwan?
Seems Putin is a giver and not a taker. How very thoughtful it was to leave 300 billion in foreign banks so we can send it Ukraine.
Russian Court hahaha
Russia : We can steal your stuff, but you can't steal our stuff.
Putin: "Don't do to me what I have done to you!"
They break it, they buy it
Pot calling kettle black.
Will Ukraine sue for war reparations?
Some judges in St. Petersburg are going to start falling out of windows.
No compensation to Russia! An eye for an eye!
While russia goes to international court why don't they also address the war crimes thing?
I like it when he's angry, he may make a mistake. We only need one excuse.
Poor Pooty.......he seizes western companies in Russia....but cries when his stuff gets taken!
Ahh... they are carrying these legal actions in Russia in a Russian "court"? I thought was in real court with real judges and stuff... 😆
Thanks, so much, eye opening for sure
"What's mine is mine and what's yours is also mine."
Thank you Joe Blogs !!
Can families of those Ukrainians massacred by Putin's invading army's war crimes sue Russia in Civil courts for money ? This would likely be easier, shorter and would not preclude them from suing in war crime courts. It would also be a straight forward way to put leans on Putin's assets in the West.
Again, thank you for an excellent informative report on an aspect I was not familiar with.
Thanks! Keep up the great work!
I feel like Russia lost all ability to take legal action against anyone outside of Russia.
they gone and they ain`t coming back BUT that is the least of his worries the bigger problem is how to resume exports he lost the market that is the biggest problem and there is no fix in sight for decades to come
Lots of companies still make money in russia. Many trough proxy countries, few diresctly.
Another great update. Thanks for posting.
Russia said before “We do not recognise this court; we do not recognise its jurisdiction,” 🤷🏼♂️
An eye for an eye...
If compensation is due it should be seized and given to Ukraine.
How can Putin be unhappy about this when he is doing exactly the same thing?
Is the Russian tyrant ever NOT furious at somebody or something?
Nope! 😂
Also Russia owes US companies that were Nationalized ... nice word for stolen.
Hold up. How is a RUSSIAN court supposed to be unbias in a lawsuit involving Russian companies 🤔
Thank you Sir!!
Thanks!
