U.S Attorney General Eric Holder and U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May met in London today to find ways to help the Ukrainian government recover stolen assets.
This process will take a long time, Holder told a news conference at the start of the two-day meeting. Just because you dont see immediate results doesnt mean people arent feverishly working.
Holder said his message to those involved in stealing Ukrainian assets was that you can run but you cant hide and called on other European Union nations to join the campaign. Decisions have to be made: which side are you on. Will you stand with the Ukrainian people? he said. Ukraines acting prosecutor general, Oleh Makhnitsky, said billions of hryvnia had been stolen.
The attorney general announced the setting-up of a 12-strong kleptocracy squad within the FBI to aggressively investigate and prosecute corruption cases, not only in Ukraine, but throughout the world.
The U.K.s Serious Fraud Office said yesterday it opened a criminal probe into money laundering from suspected corruption in Ukraine and froze $23 million of assets in connection with the case.
Holder also said the U.S. is prepared to impose further sanctions beyond those already announced if Russia fails to cease its illegal intervention and actions in Ukraine.
Both the U.S. and the European Union have announced new measures in the past two days to protest Russias actions in Ukraine.

A one-party state like California may be tailor made to highlight sharp policy differences within the party. In the race of superintendent of education, an advocate of school reform including charters, local control and tempering union influence is squaring off against a more traditional Democrat supported by teachers' unions.
The race pits two well-funded Democrats against each other, with former charter school executive Michael Tuck challenging incumbent Tom Torlakson, a former teacher.
Tuck said in an interview with Reuters that he supports teacher unions but thinks they have "too big a seat at the table."
"He opposes rules that require teachers with the least seniority to be the first fired during layoffs, and is against granting teachers tenure after just two years on the job," Reuters reported.
"Policy experts in California say that increasingly, Democrats are supporting elements of the reform agenda," Reuters noted. "At the national level, the call to tie teacher evaluations to students' performance on standardized tests has been championed by the Democratic Obama administration, as well as leading Republicans."
The battle in California thus reflects a larger national battle pitting the Obama administration as a strong supporter of both charter schools and rigorous testing, both positions that pit him against teachers' unions.
In "Dreams of My Father," Obama offered an early signal that he would be an iconoclast on education, when he wrote of "annual budget shortfalls in the hundreds of millions; shortages of textbooks and toilet paper; a teachers union that went on strike at least once every two years; a bloated bureaucracy and an indifferent state Legislature."
