Ukraine asked the United Nations’ highest court on Monday to order Russia to stop funding and equipping pro-Russian separatists, at the start of a hearing where it hopes to prove Moscow is breaking international law. Russia denies sending troops or military equipment to eastern Ukraine and is expected to challenge the basis of the case Ukraine has launched at the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
“Today I stand before the World Court to request protection of the basic human rights of Ukrainian people,” Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Olena Zerkal said on the first of four days of hearings. Zerkal requested an immediate court order to stop what she called Russia’s abuses until the judges have heard the case in full. The UN court takes years to hear cases. Although its rulings are final and binding, it has no means of enforcement.
Zerkal’s request for so-called provisional measures, included a halt of transfers of money, weapons, vehicles, equipment, training or personnel to pro-Russian separatists fighting Ukrainian government forces. “Russian Federation tactics include support for terrorism and acts of racial discrimination, as well as propaganda, subversion, intimidation, political corruption and cyber attacks,” she told the judges, citing new attacks in recent weeks..
Ukraine says in its filing that the pro-Russian separatists were responsible for the bombardment of residential areas and the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in July 2014 that killed 298 passengers and crew.
In September 2016, a six-country investigative team led by the Netherlands said the plane had been shot down with a Russian-manufactured Buk surface-to-air missile from an area controlled by pro-Russian forces. Russia has dismissed the findings as biased and politically motivated.

Five Ukrainian soldiers were wounded in action in the zone of the Anti-Terrorist Operation in eastern Ukraine in the last 24 hours, speaker for the ATO at Ukraine's Defense Ministry Andriy Lysenko told a briefing, according to an UNIAN correspondent.

Ukrainian Deputy Minister for temporarily occupied territory and internally displaced people George Tuka says a "warlord" of the so-called "Luhansk People's Republic" ("LPR") terrorist organization, a Russian mercenary, nom-de-guerre 'Plastun,' has been killed in the Donbas conflict zone.
The terrorist headed an "LPR" unit and was a popular "character" of Russian propaganda. In 2014, he was wounded near the village of Khriaschuvate in Luhansk region. The "LPR" terrorist organization in turn confirmed his death on social networks.
Earlier, media reported about the killing of Vitaliy Kiselyov, aka "Communist," an "LPR" terrorist leader who was commander deputy of the so-called "people's militia." Kiselyov and some other members of the "LPR" leaders were accused by the "local prosecutors" of an attempted coup, according to the Russian online newspaper gazeta.ru.

"During the meeting the Ombudsmen focused on the issue of implementation of the previous agreements of the parties, in particular, the movement of the Ukrainian citizens, who are serving their sentences in the territory of Crimea, to other institutions for further punishment in the territory of the mainland of Ukraine," the press-service of the Ukrainian Ombudsman said on Monday.
The ministry reminded that during a meeting in June 2016 ombudsmen of Ukraine and Russia agreed to move 18 prisoners from detention facilities of Crimea to mainland Ukraine to further serve their sentences.
"Lutkovska and Moskalkova during their meeting discussed the ways of early technical implementation of previous agreements of such transfers. They reviewed the implementation of procedures for moving by the relevant government authorities of both countries, and the like. The Ombudsmen of Ukraine and the Russian Federation reported that the said movement will occur in the near future," a statement says.
