Russian officials continue to accuse Ukraine of committing genocide. On Monday, Russia repeated allegations that the “Russophobic and neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv” was using the United Nations’ 1948 Genocide Convention, to which both countries are a party, as a pretext to “drag” a case before the court.
This strategy of accusing the other side of exactly what you’re doing is so blatantly obnoxious. This sounds the exact same as “Black Lives Matters was the real insurrection”
“Genocide denial is okay if the people being genocided are ‘orcs’”
They can go the fuck home then. They do not belong in Ukraine unless they’re wanting to become fertilizer.
So, you believe that all Russians in the Ukraine need to be forcibly removed or turned into fertilizer? Just to be clear. Because that would be a genocide.
Stopping an invading army is genocide? Go home vatnik, you have no power here.
There are millions of Russians in the Donbass and Crimea whose families have lived there for hundreds of years. They are the ones being genocided.
Supressing an armed insurrection which is supported by a foreign power is not genocide. The world turned a blind eye on the secession of Donbass and Crimea until Russia decided to use them to annex the rest of the country. These Russian sattelite "states"can continue to exist as a part of Ukraine. Once again, go home vatnik, you have no power here.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Kyiv argues Russia is abusing international law by saying the invasion was justified to prevent an alleged genocide in eastern Ukraine.
On Monday, Russia repeated allegations that the “Russophobic and neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv” was using the United Nations’ 1948 Genocide Convention, to which both countries are a party, as a pretext to “drag” a case before the court.
The convention defines genocide as crimes committed “with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.”
Kuzmin concluded that “Ukraine’s legal position is hopelessly flawed and at odds with the long standing jurisprudence of this court” and called on the judges to dismiss the case.
Ukraine has already cleared one hurdle as the court decided in its favour in a preliminary decision in the case in March last year.
Russia has so far ignored the ICJ’s orders to stop its military actions and the court has no way of enforcing its decisions but experts say they may have implications for compensation payments after the war.

Oh this is just a way for Ukraine to get better settlement after the war ends… That’s a shame.
