TL;DR Summary

Russia has urged the United Nations' highest court to dismiss Ukraine's case against Moscow over the annexation of Crimea and arming of rebels in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine filed the case in 2017, asking the court to order Moscow to pay reparations for attacks and crimes such as the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17. Lawyers for Ukraine said Russia bankrolled a "campaign of intimidation and terror" by rebels in eastern Ukraine starting in 2014. After the hearings expected to wrap up next week, judges will take months to reach a decision in the case.
