It is their fault, but most of the assets listed do not amount to much. There was on that broke a billion, but that was for a gas processing facility and not something you can move easily.

I speculate that most of those assets were written off already and it's mainly just a puff piece of an article.

Well, if the companies didn't get their stuff out after the Crimea shit, that's entirely on them. If you deal with occupiers, don't be surprised if they steal from you. It's just a pity it can help putin a bit. I hope it's not much use to him.
