Verdict history
| When | From | To | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | 2026-11-03 | 2027-01-16 | Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. The record (ev-20261027-6f2w) holds Ukrainian officials' tolls and the UN coordinator's own statement, which cannot count for the UN's claim; no independent count of the 16 April casualties is in the record. Next check on the ladder from 2026-04-16 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly). |
