"UN's Top Court Rejects Ukraine's Terrorism Case Against Russia"

The United Nations' International Court of Justice mostly rejected Ukraine's claims that Russia was financing "terrorism" in eastern Ukraine, ruling that Moscow had only failed to investigate alleged breaches. The court found that only cash transfers could be considered as support for alleged terrorist groups under the international convention on terrorism financing, and that Russia had not taken sufficient measures to enable education in Ukrainian in occupied Crimea. This case is part of Ukraine's strategy of "lawfare" against Russia and predates the 2022 invasion, with the ICJ set to decide on Friday whether it has jurisdiction to rule in a separate case over that war.
