Ukraine intends to file a lawsuit against a Russian airline operating in Crimea, Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko has said.

"We are currently planning to sue a Russian airline, which is using our space, landing on the territory of Crimea without paying for it, demanding about UAH 5 million," Lutsenko said at a briefing in Kyiv on Friday.

He also said work is under way to track vessels that enter Crimean ports.

The prosecutor general did not want to disclose the details, noting that they are currently developing an algorithm to prosecute such actions.
