About the episode
The European Court of Human Rights has delivered a historic ruling that finds Russia is responsible for the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in 2014. The court's judgement is in response to four cases brought by Ukraine and the Netherlands against Russia since the start of the conflict in 2014. The ruling is largely symbolic, but comes as Russia ramps up attacks on Ukraine, launching a record 728 drones into the country in a single night.
