KYIV, Oct 28 – The Helsinki District Court granted Naftogaz Ukrainy and five of its group companies' request to freeze certain Russian assets in Finland, as announced by Naftogaz on Monday.

The frozen assets include real estate and other holdings valued at tens of millions of dollars.

"This decision is part of Naftogaz's global strategy to recover damages for the seizure of the group's assets in Crimea, based on a ruling from The Hague arbitration," the group said.
