VLADIVOSTOK. June 17 (Interfax) - Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman, United Russia Chair Dmitry Medvedev has called for systematizing and estimating the damage from sanctions imposed in evasion of the UN Security Council, the United Russia press service said.
"Russia will estimate the damage from sanctions in order to present it to the countries which imposed the restrictions," Medvedev said at a meeting of the standing committee of the movement For Freedom of Nations on the sidelines of the international inter-party forum with the theme World Majority for a Multipolar World in Vladivostok, as cited by the press service.
There are quite a few of these countries, he said.
"The practical implementation of this stance will require the creation of a register of damage from crimes of the colonial epoch and neocolonialism and the payment of possible compensation," Medvedev said.
It would be fair to demand reparations from both states, which must pay a price for their colonial policy, as well as large private financial institutions of former colonies that still exist, he said.
The international inter-party forum in the BRICS and partners format with the theme World Majority for a Multipolar World is taking place in Vladivostok on June 17-18 and involves over 150 party representatives from 32 countries.
Delegations from China, Ethiopia, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Venezuela, Cuba, Belarus, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan and some others are taking part in the forum.
The forum will adopt a final statement presenting a consolidated position of United Russia and foreign partners on stepping up interaction in three main areas of BRICS, namely, politics and security, the economy and finance, and culture and humanitarian cooperation.
