European Court rules Russia violated human rights in Ukraine, including the MH17 downing.

The European Court of Human Rights found Russia responsible for human rights violations in Ukraine, including the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. The court's ruling covers a range of abuses since 2014, such as murder, torture, and sexual violence. Although the decision is largely symbolic, as Russia has left the Council of Europe, it is seen as a significant step toward holding Russia accountable for its actions in Ukraine.
