Intensified military action in Ukraine in mid-2014 meant higher casualties among soldiers and civilians, including 298 victims of the tragic crash of the Malaysia Airlines passenger plane. This article begins with a presentation of the developments of 17 July 2014, technical data about flight MH17 and initial international reaction. The focus, however, is on the controversial issue of criminal and material liability of the perpetrators in terms of international law, with the first aspect relating primarily to the jurisdiction of International Criminal Court and a potential trial in The Hague, and the second concerning compensation for families of the victims. The conclusions on the principle of sovereignty and state control of airspace during armed conflict could be a starting point for further research.
