"ICJ Judgment: Ukraine's 'Terror' Case Against Russia Largely Rejected"

The International Court of Justice ruled against Ukraine's claims that Russia financed terrorism in Donbass and was responsible for the downing of MH17. The court found that the treaty only covered cash transfers to alleged terrorist groups and that there was no evidence to characterize the armed militias in Donbass as terrorist groups. The ruling undermines Kiev's narrative of fighting terrorists in Donbass and also denied Ukraine compensation for discrimination against ethnic Tatars and Ukrainians in Crimea.
