Ontario’s top court has upheld a judgment that determined Ukraine International Airlines is legally obligated to provide full compensation to the families of the victims who died when Flight PS752 was shot down in 2020.

The jetliner, bound for Canada via Ukraine, was downed by two Iranian missiles just minutes after taking off from Tehran on Jan. 8, 2020. All 176 people on board were killed, including nine crew members and 15 children.
