Ukraine prevails over Russia in $3B bond dispute.

The UK Supreme Court has ruled that Ukraine can go to trial to try to avoid repaying $3 billion in loans it said it took under pressure from Russia in 2013 to prevent it from trying to join the European Union. The court rejected an attempt to avoid a trial by a British company acting on Russia's behalf to collect the loans. The case was argued in November 2021, and the court was not asked to consider Russia's invasion of Ukraine three months later.
