"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.

"ICJ Dismisses Majority of Ukraine's Case Against Russia"

"ICJ Rejects Ukraine's 'Terrorism' Case Against Russia in Landmark Ruling"

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Russia partially violated an anti-terrorism treaty by failing to investigate the funding of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine, including those responsible for shooting down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in 2014. However, the ICJ declined to hold Russia responsible for the aircraft's downing and rejected Ukraine's request for compensation. The court did find Russia in violation of the UN's anti-discrimination treaty for failing to protect Ukrainian-language education in Crimea but did not grant compensation for other claims of discrimination. The case predates Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and tensions between the two countries remain high.

"Putin Critic Igor Girkin Jailed for Extremism: What Led to His Four-Year Sentence?"

Igor Girkin, a former FSB officer and key figure in the fighting in Ukraine's Donbas region, has been sentenced to four years in a penal colony by a Moscow court on extremism charges, not for his role in the downing of flight MH17. Girkin, also known as Igor Strelkov, had been found guilty in absentia by a Dutch court for the murder of 298 people on MH17. His criticism of Putin and founding of a nationalist movement led to his arrest, signaling a crackdown on ultra-patriotic critics by the Russian authorities.

A Russian court has convicted a Putin-critic for "inciting extremism" related to the MH17 plane crash, while a member of parliament accused of the murder of Alexander Litvinenko has made threatening remarks against Russia's critics.

Former MH17 Investigator Challenges Putin in Controversial Presidential Race

Igor Girkin, a former FSB officer involved in the annexation of Crimea and the downing of MH17, has expressed his desire to run for president against Vladimir Putin in the upcoming Russian election.

Russia calls for dismissal of Ukraine's case over Crimea and terrorism funding at UN court.

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.
