ICJ to examine Russian accusations of "genocide" in Ukraine this week

NL Times  

The International Court of Justice, the United Nations' highest judicial body, will examine the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on Monday and Tuesday. Russia accused Ukraine of genocide against Russian-speaking and pro-Russian residents of the renegade regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. According to Russia, the invasion - which it called a "special military operation" - was justified to protect the inhabitants of Donetsk and Luhansk. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that there was no genocide at all and wants the UN judges to rule that Russia "had no legal basis whatsoever to take action in and against Ukraine to prevent and punish genocide."
