KYIV, Aug 29 – Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s power grid, will seek an international adviser to file a lawsuit against the Russian Federation in connection with the illegal seizure of the company's assets as a result of the annexation of Crimea, Vsevolod Kovalchuk, the head of Ukrenergo, said.

"We have the opportunity [after the approval by the Cabinet of Ministers of the fiscal plan for 2017] to use the funds that we provided for this year - about UAH 1 million. This budget is enough to attract an international adviser who will be able to start the first stage," he said.
