The U.K. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Ukraine can go to trial to avoid repaying $3 billion in loans it said it took under pressure from Russia in 2013 to prevent it from trying to join the European Union .

in December 2015, saying Moscow wouldn’t agree to terms already accepted by other international creditors.

An appeals court overturned the lower court ruling, agreeing that Ukraine could challenge repayment of the loans on the grounds of duress but rejecting several other legal claims. The Supreme Court rejected several of Ukraine’s legal arguments, including that its finance minister didn’t have authority to enter into the loan agreement and that Ukraine could decline payment as a countermeasure to Russia’s aggressions.

That's under political BS. They took money then must pay it back. The only thing that might be disputable is the interest that might have incurred on the loan.

Took under pressure 😂

UK propaganda

Ukraine is a failed state, Zelensky is a clown

If you support Ukraine you are supporting Nazis

UK Supreme Court has no justification over this matter lol

A - there is still a case to be litigated so not much to celebrate. B - UKR needs to prove military “threat” in 2013 NOT anything to do with the current conflict. Interesting to see how it plays off in court. Rules based order!

Greed now they got billions fromus!

Under what obligation does Ukraine have to pay this? Like what can Russia do to threaten them into paying it. They can't threaten the war because we're long past that point so the only step up is nuclear Holocaust. Are they really going to start World War III for $3 billion?

Western press before 2022: Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe. Zelinsky is also corrupt and was named in the Panama papers. Western press today: Ukraine is the most virtuous country ever. There has never been a single issue. No corruption. No Nazis.

this B$ far$e is getting more theatrical by the day...

Ukraine is a wholly corrupt enterprise. How anyone could mistake it for a democracy is beyond me.

Follow the $$$.

I took loan under pressure too

Yanukovych took the bribe, not Ukraine. Yanukovych is in russia. russia can get the money directly from him.

I was under pressure to take out a loan for my mortgage, so I shouldn’t have to pay it.

He probably already asked his sugar daddy for the $3 billion while they were admiring the corvette which was parked in front of the documents. Did they briefly talk about the content. Who knows. smh

Lolz! Clown

Fascist zelenskyy end the war ,will damage the world balance , with old bag support you .

Point at any city that's been leveled by the invaders, name any citizen and their families who've been destroyed by the war. The cost of the loan is null and void.

Sounds good. If you attack someone they should be free of debt they owe you.
