Lawyers for Ukraine at the top UN court on Monday rejected Russia's account of the downing of a Malaysian airliner as a"rambling conspiracy theory", in a case alleging Moscow backed separatists in eastern Ukraine in 2014.

It found that Russia had"overall control" over the separatist forces. On Monday, Ukraine's lawyers hit back. One of them, Marney Cheek, told the court it had been"subjected to a rambling conspiracy theory" about the shooting down of MH17 which would be"better relegated to the darkest corners of the internet".
