The Russian Foreign Ministry reports that the International Court of Justice of the United Nations has accepted the counterclaims of the Russian Federation against Ukraine for examination under the Genocide Convention of 1948. The RF Foreign Ministry states that the International Court of Justice has completely rejected Ukraine's objections to the "inadmissibility" of the Russian claims and has recognised them as legally justified. The court has agreed to examine the full range of allegations made by Russia. The Ukrainian lawsuit of 2022, submitted with the support of 33 Western countries, aimed to attribute responsibility for the start of the special military operation to Russia. On 1 February 2024, the International Court of Justice completely dismissed the allegations of Ukraine and only allowed the question of possible genocide by Ukraine to be examined. On 18 November 2024, Russia submitted materials to the court comprising over 10,000 pages, containing evidence of genocidal actions by the Ukrainian authorities against the Russian and Russian-speaking population in the Donbass: over 140 confirmed episodes of mass killings, torture, bombings, and arbitrary shelling, as well as testimonies from over 300 witnesses. Russia also pointed to the policy of violent suppression of Russian identity in Ukraine: the prohibition of the Russian language and culture, pressure on the Russian-speaking Orthodox Church, the glorification of Nazi collaborators, and the destruction of the memory of victory. The Russian side filed counterclaims against Ukraine for genocide, complicity, and incitement to it, as well as for failing to take measures to prevent and punish such crimes. The Russian Foreign Ministry notes that the West has failed to use international mechanisms for its political goals with the decision of the International Court of Justice. On the contrary – now the activities of the Kyiv regime and its supporters are under investigation. Some of the countries that previously supported Ukraine have already left the process, having recognised its futility. The Russian Federation emphasises the importance of objectivity and impartiality in international justice and hopes that the International Court of Justice of the United Nations will continue to be guided by the principles of justice in examining the case. #russia #ukraine
