"ICJ Partially Rejects Ukraine 'Terror' Case as Russia and Ukraine Swap POWs, Amid Claims of US Involvement in Military Plane Downings"

Russia and Ukraine exchanged about 200 prisoners of war each despite tensions over a recent plane crash, with Russia claiming the plane was shot down by Ukraine. The International Court of Justice partially rejected Ukraine's claims against Russia for violating international conventions, ruling that Russia failed to conduct investigations against individuals who allegedly financed terrorism in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Azov Brigade in eastern Ukraine is facing ammunition shortages as they continue to grapple with Russian forces, and Russian President Vladimir Putin chaired a meeting on the economic development of occupied Ukrainian territories, claiming that Moscow has spent almost two trillion rubles on a development program for Russia-held parts of Ukraine.
