"At a hearing before Mr Justice Blair in the High Court in London on May 26, 2017, the Judge considered various outstanding matters that follow on from the summary judgment decision issued by the Court on March 29, 2017. In particular, the Court heard Ukraine's application for a further suspension of the judgment becoming executable until such time as Ukraine's appeal to the English Court of Appeal has been concluded, which would not be before 2018," the ministry reported on its website on Friday, May 26.

"Given the complexity of the involved issues, the Judge decided to reserve his Judgment. The Judge will therefore take some time following today's hearing to consider matters further, before issuing his decision in due course," it said.
