As a result of the rocket, none of the 298 people on board the aircraft survived. Russia was found guilty of a common cause, which combines complaints of Ukraine and the Netherlands about numerous human rights violations during the war. The Russian side was not present at the announcement of the decision, as in all previous meetings.
Cases relate to the killings of civilians and prisoners of war, imprisonment, inhuman treatment, torture, suppression of Ukrainian identity, export of Ukrainian children and adults into the occupied territories and more. The Ukrainian judge in the ECtHR Mykola Hnatovsky stated that the importance of this court decision will show history. According to him, the court emphasized that the actions of Russia in Ukraine are unprecedented in the history of the Council of Europe.
"The nature and scale of violence, the ominous statements of the respondent's state's power to the statehood of Ukraine, its independence and the right to exist threaten peaceful coexistence in Europe and are aimed at undermining the foundations of democracy," he said. Gnatovsky also noted that the case "Ukraine and the Netherlands against Russia" about 500 pages without annexes has become the largest and most important in the history of the ECtHR.
