MOSCOW - Russian-installed authorities in Crimea said on Saturday they planned to sell about 100 Ukrainian properties, including one belonging to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Mr Vladimir Konstantinov, speaker of the Crimean parliament, said the nationalised properties
The sale contracts amounted to more than 815 million roubles (S$11.5 million), Mr Konstantinov said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.
Russian-installed authorities in Crimea said in February that they had nationalised around 500 properties in Crimea including some belonging to senior Ukrainian politicians and business figures.
Crimea, internationally recognised as part of Ukraine, has been controlled by Moscow since 2014, when Russia annexed the Black Sea peninsula, eight years before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. REUTERS
