Ukraine accuses Russia of illegally justifying war with false genocide claim
The international court of justice (ICJ) has said it will decide “as soon as possible” on a Ukrainian demand for an emergency order that Russia halt hostilities immediately, after a hearing in The Hague that was boycotted by Moscow.
The UN’s highest court closed a hearing on Monday afternoon a day earlier than planned due to the Russian boycott. Ukraine said Russia was obliged to listen to whatever the ICJ ruled.
