Almost, if not entirely, ignored in all western MSM today was the final judgement of the ICJ in the case brought by Ukraine against Russia. Given the ruling, this is not at all surprising. Ukraine instigated proceedings against Russia in 2017. Today the final judgement was delivered;
" Kyiv had accused Moscow of being a “terrorist state” whose support for pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine was a harbinger of the full-fledged 2022 invasion.
It wanted Russia to compensate all civilians caught up in the conflict, as well as victims from Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which was shot down over eastern Ukraine.
But the International Court of Justice (ICJ) tossed out most of Ukraine’s pleas, ruling only that Russia was “failing to take measures to investigate facts... regarding persons who have allegedly committed an offence.”
The ICJ “rejects all other submissions made by the Ukraine,” it said in a statement."
