Summary

MEMORANDUM OPINION

JSC DTEK Krymenergo, a Ukrainian energy supplier, initiated this action to confirm an arbitral award that it secured against the Russian Federation after Russia invaded Crimea and expropriated DTEK Krymenergo's assets there. The Russian Federation moved to dismiss on the grounds that the Court lacks both subject matter and personal jurisdiction under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, and then later moved to stay these proceedings pending the outcome of additional arbitral and judicial proceedings in other fora. For the reasons below, the Court denies both of Russia's motions.
