A top European court ruled Wednesday that Russia committed widespread human rights violations in its support for anti-Kyiv separatists in eastern Ukraine starting in 2014, in the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 that year and in its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), part of the Council of Europe, found that Russia was responsible for “extrajudicial killings of civilians and Ukrainian military personnel” outside combat zones, as well as “torture,” “forced labor,” “unlawful and arbitrary detention” and looting.

The panel of 17 judges also ruled that Moscow had violated human rights by transferring Ukrainian children to Russia and, in many cases, arranging their adoption there.

The ECHR said Russia must “without delay” release or safely return all civilians unlawfully detained in occupied Ukraine. It also called on Moscow to cooperate with efforts to identify children transferred from Ukraine before September 2022 and help reunite them with their families.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday that Russia would not comply with the ruling, which it considers “null and void.”
