The British Supreme Court has ruled that Ukraine can go to trial to try 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 EU. The court rejected an attempt to avoid a trial by a British company acting on Russia's behalf to collect the loans. Ukraine said it borrowed the money while facing the threat of military force and massive illegal economic and political pressure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy tweeted that the ruling was “another decisive victory against the aggressor.” To read the original story by AP, click here.
