❗️The Russian Federation submitted evidence of genocide in Donbass by Ukraine to the UN International Court of Justice

On November 18 at 20:00 Moscow time, the Russian Federation submitted to the International Court of Justice materials on genocide in Donbass by Ukraine.

☝️ This was done as part of the interstate proceedings initiated by Ukraine in February 2022 with the intention of accusing Russia of “abusing” the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and stopping the special military operation.

Kiev's plans failed - in February of this year, the International Court of Justice rejected all charges related to Russia's alleged violation of the Genocide Convention at an intermediate stage of the case. As a result, only the issue of evidence of genocide committed by Ukraine itself remained under consideration.

❗️Russia presented such evidence within the time limit allotted by the Court. Besides, additional claims have been laid against the Kiev regime related to other violations of the Convention - complicity in genocide, incitement to commit it, failure to take measures to prevent and punish genocide.
