“The decision of the Council of ISA is thus appealed by the Russian side on all aspects – on the grounds of jurisdiction, applicable law, factology, as well as in connection with fatal violations of the procedure,” – the message reads.
Since Russia announced the exit from the dispute in 2024, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs specified that the appeal of the decision “in no way means legitimizing or recognizing the Russian side of any Acts of the Council of Isao in this case.”
Recall that in May 2025, the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization concluded that Russia is responsible for killing the MH17 flight in July 2014 and thus violated the Convention on the International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention).
The decisions were made under a dispute initiated by the Netherlands and Australia against Russia in March 2022. It opens the path to compensation to the affected countries, but it is considered to be as invalid at the time of appeal.
In July 2014, Russian militants from the so-called “DNR” shot down the MH17 flight “Amsterdam-Kuala-Lumpur” over Eastern Ukraine. As a result, all 298 people were killed on board.
