The defense was represented, by official and skilled lawyers. The defendants and the Russian state where invited to attend, and to present evidence through their attorneys.

They chose not to add anything official. Just hollow rhetoric in the media. On the other side, the prosecutor presented hard evidence, peer reviewed. They presented captured audio recordings, satellite imagery and more.

You either have not spent any time reading through the evidence, or are willfully distorting the truth.

This was not a sham trial like Russia is used to.

Considering their entire argument was to assert with zero evidence it was Ukrainians who did it, then to claim all the evidence showing otherwise is unreliable and we'll never know the truth, I think we can probably answer with a reasonable degree of confidence they are purposefully seeking to mislead.
