Decisions of the Stockholm Arbitration are binding on the territory of all member countries of the United Nations (UN), including the Russian Federation, Justice Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Petrenko has said.

"The Russian Federation always makes some kind of fake decisions concerning decisions of legal international courts, but these fake decisions have no legal consequences. The decision of the Stockholm Arbitration is mandatory on the territory of virtually all UN member states ... The Russian Federation is no exception," Petrenko told journalists in Kyiv on Wednesday.

According to him, at present "the process of legal procedures regarding the forcible recovery of Russian Gazprom assets pursuant to this court decision is under way."

"All of their statements are nothing more than a certain manipulation aimed at the domestic consumer, on the population of the Russian Federation, to whom the fake news is shown on a daily basis," he said.
