Judges at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg delivered rulings against Russia on Wednesday, stating Moscow has violated international law in Ukraine, marking the first time an international court has found the Kremlin responsible for human rights abuses since its full-scale invasion of its neighbour in 2022.
The court also ruled Russia was behind the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, the first time an international court has found Moscow responsible for the 2014 tragedy that claimed 298 lives.
