In September, Ukraine will prepare and file another lawsuit against Russia with the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), Deputy Justice Minister Anton Yanchuk said during a meeting with representatives of the European External Action Service on the consequences of the illegal occupation of Ukrainian territory.

"In September, we're going to file another lawsuit against Russia due to the violations of the Human Rights Convention that haven't been covered by previous lawsuits," the press service of the Justice Ministry quoted Yanchuk as saying on Friday.

At the same time, he said that Ukraine was negotiating with Russia on interpreting and using the sections of UN conventions in which Russia recognizes the jurisdiction of the corresponding arbitration.

"In addition, we're going to start such negotiations under the rest of international agreements, where Russia recognizes the jurisdiction of international courts and corresponding arbitration institutions. As a result, we're using the majority of the instruments to settle the international disputes between Russia and Ukraine, due to the occupation of Crimea and the organizing and funding of the conflict in Donbas," Yanchuk said.

He also said that after the occupation of a part of Ukrainian territory a legal basis was created that ensures a solution to problematic issues regarding the registering of rights.

"We adopted the law of Ukraine 'On Ensuring the Rights and Freedoms of Citizens and the Legal Regime on the Temporarily Occupied Territory of Ukraine.' According to the law, the actions by any state agencies or officials in the temporarily occupied [territories] are considered illegal, if the agencies are created, persons are elected or appointed under procedures not foreseen by the laws of Ukraine," Yanchuk said.

According to him, all natural persons and legal entities retain their right of ownership and other rights to immovable property and land located in temporarily occupied territories.

"We haven't recognized a single document issued by a facility or agency, which are de facto executive agencies in Crimea, and are not Ukraine's government agencies. We're going to follow this approach in the future," Yanchuk said.

During the visit of the Ukrainian delegation, which consisted of deputy ministers on European integration, Yanchuk also participated in another visa-free meeting to discuss the progress and directions of Ukraine's anticorruption policy and the battle against organized crime.

In addition, Yanchuk participated in the first meeting of the Committee on EU-Ukraine Association. He spoke of Ukraine's progress in introducing political reforms aimed at ensuring the rule of law and respect of human rights, as well as anti-corruption reforms. The issues of Ukraine-EU cooperation on justice and freedom of security were also discussed.
