How Russian oligarchs are suing Ukraine in wartime

from Follow the Money: The Podcast · host Follow the Money

In the midst of war, Russian oligarchs are suing Ukraine – not in Moscow, not in Kyiv, but through European trade treaties and arbitration courts in Washington. What might sound like a legal technicality is actually part of a powerful global mechanism known as ISDS, which allows corporations to sue governments for billions over lost profits. Journalists Alistair Keepe and Hans Wetzels take us inside this opaque system, revealing how it quietly shapes public policy on a global scale.
