Ukraine can defend $3 bln Russian Eurobond case - UK top court
LONDON, March 15 (Reuters) - Ukraine can defend a $3 billion Eurobond lawsuit brought by Russia on the basis it was forced to assume the debt in 2013 because of threats of force by Moscow, the United Kingdom Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday.
The long-awaited ruling on the lawsuit, which was brought in 2016 and long predates Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, paves the way for a full trial of Ukraine’s case that it had to accept the money in the face of Russian aggression. (Reporting by Sam Tobin; editing by Michael Holden)
