Japanese Professor thinks that Ukraine has high chances to win the litigation against Russia for violation UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
"The majority of information about the arbitration between Ukraine and Russia is still unavailable for the society. As far as I know, the Ukrainian litigation also claims on the violation at the Kerch Strait and the legal status of Sea of Azov. I think Ukraine has good chances in the court against Russia", – stressed Professor.
