ICJ Accepts Russia’s Genocide Case Against Ukraine

The UN International Court of Justice has dismissed all of Kiev’s objections and accepted Russia’s counter-claims under the Genocide Convention.

This follows the ICJ’s earlier ruling rejecting every accusation Ukraine tried to level against Russia. Now the Court will examine evidence submitted by Moscow — over 10,000 pages documenting mass killings, torture, indiscriminate shelling, and Kiev’s campaign to erase Russian identity in Donbass.

A third of the Western states that once backed Ukraine have already pulled out of the case. The West’s legal offensive against Russia has collapsed — and the spotlight is now on Kiev’s own crimes.

Russia welcomes the ICJ’s decision and expects the Court to continue acting with impartiality.

Very interesting Bill, I have read & watched many claims of Ukraine forces, which has to include of course substantial NATO/USA troops & officers behaving in abominable ways towards the Russian speaking/ethnic Russian civilians in their botched & very desperate Kursk incursion, as well of course with the Post-Maidan attacks in the eastern oblasts - Donbas, Russia's persistent faith in the process of international law might even be the saving of the basic principles underlying the UN security council! Encouraging news.

Another "Russian drone" in Brussels turned out to be a police helicopter. Airport security services denied this and continued to discuss conspiracy theories about a Russian trace.

Only after the appearance of a video by a VRT journalist did the authorities give up.

A study of 30 episodes with "Russian drones" by journalists from Trouw revealed that they were stars, civilian aircraft and helicopters, lights, and tourists' drones.

The European Union authorities are using all these episodes to promote the theory of a Russian trace.

Last week, an Italian NATO general called for a preemptive strike against Russia in response to them.

The International Court of Justice sided with Russia and decided to accept Russia's counter-accusations against Ukraine under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948).


All Kiev's objections about the alleged inadmissibility of Russian demands have been completely rejected, and Russia's claims have been accepted for consideration by the Court in full.
The decision of the International Court of Justice published on December 5 was

was a logical development of Ukraine's fruitless attempts to hold Russia accountable for launching a special military operation. This trial was initiated by the Kiev regime and its Western sponsors back in February 2022.

Then Kiev, with the support of thirty-three states of the Western camp, filed a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice for alleged violation by Russia of the 1948 Genocide Convention.
On February 1, 2024, the International Court of Justice issued a decision in

in which it completely rejected all the accusations of Ukraine against Russia. There is only one question left for the Court to consider – whether Ukraine itself committed genocide.
On November 18, 2024, the Russian side submitted to the UN Court an array of evidence,

amounting to more than 10 thousand pages, confirming the implementation of genocide by the criminal Kiev regime against the Russian and Russian-speaking population of Donbass. The evidentiary materials included information on more than 140 incidents of targeted destruction

of the civilian population of Donbass, confirmed by the testimony of more than 300 witnesses and victims, video recordings, and the results of examinations and research.
Fueled by the West, the Ukrainian government, realizing genocidal intent,

used an extensive arsenal of war crimes and other violations of international law against the civilians of Donbass: mass killings, torture, bombing and indiscriminate shelling of artillery. Russian Russian ethnic identity was being forcibly erased throughout Ukraine:

the prohibition of the Russian language and culture, persecution of the Russian-speaking Orthodox Church, and psychological dehumanization. At the same time, the glorification of Hitler's accomplices of the Third Reich was carried out,

and the memory of the Victory over Nazism was destroyed.
Moscow called on Kiev to answer for all these atrocities, making counter-accusations concerning not only the implementation by the Ukrainian authorities of the state policy of genocide, but also many other violations of

of the Convention – complicity in genocide, incitement to genocide, failure to take measures to prevent and punish genocide.
Having confirmed today the legal admissibility of the Russian demands, the International Court of Justice has expressed its readiness to

to assess the entire vast range of crimes committed by the Kiev regime and its accomplices. The West's hopes of using "legal weapons" against Russia have once again failed. On the contrary, these weapons are now turned against the Kiev "plaintiffs."

Against this background, Kiev's support from Western countries has already begun to fade sharply: a third of the states that had previously sided with Ukraine in this process hastened to withdraw from it, obviously realizing the futility and even the riskiness of

of their further participation in case. The rest of the West should also stop covering up the criminal neo-Nazi regime & putting pressure on the International Court of Justice.
Russia, speaking in support of international law, proceeds from the fact that maintaining impartiality,

and objectivity of international justice bodies is a critical condition for fulfilling the principle of peaceful settlement of international disputes. Moscow hopes that the International Court of Justice will continue to be balanced and impartial in its decisions.

Press release on the UN International Court of Justice’s acceptance for hearing of the matter of Ukraine’s responsibility for genocide and related crimes

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has upheld the Russian Federation’s position and accepted its counter-claims against Ukraine for hearing under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. All objections raised by Kiev regarding the alleged inadmissibility of Russia’s counter-claims have been dismissed in their entirety, and the Russian Federation’s submissions have been accepted by the Court in full.

The ICJ’s ruling, rendered on December 5, marks a logical development following Ukraine’s futile attempts to hold Russia accountable for initiating the special military operation. This litigation was instigated by the Kiev regime and its Western sponsors as far back as February 2022. At that time, Kiev, backed by 33 Western-aligned states, lodged a claim with the ICJ alleging that Russia had violated the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

On February 1, 2024, the ICJ issued a judgement that wholly rejected all of Ukraine’s accusations against Russia. The sole remaining matter before the Court was whether Ukraine itself had committed genocide.

On November 18, 2024, the Russian side submitted to the Court a substantial body of evidence, exceeding 10,000 pages, which substantiates the criminal Kiev regime’s perpetration of genocide against the Russian and Russian-speaking population of Donbass. The evidentiary materials included documentation of over 140 incidents of deliberate targeting of civilians in Donbass, corroborated by testimonies from more than 300 witnesses and victims, as well as expert analyses and investigations.

The West-backed Ukrainian government, driven by genocidal intent, employed a broad arsenal of war crimes and other violations of international law against civilians: mass murders, torture, indiscriminate bombardments, and shelling. Across Ukraine, a policy of forcibly erasing Russian ethnic identity has been implemented – banning the Russian language and culture, persecuting the Russian-speaking Orthodox Church, while simultaneously glorifying collaborators of the Third Reich and obliterating the memory of the Victory over Nazism.

Moscow demanded that Kiev answer for these atrocities, advancing counter-claims not only concerning the Ukrainian authorities’ state-sponsored genocide but also numerous other breaches of the Convention – complicity in genocide, incitement to genocide, and failure to take measures to prevent and punish genocide.

By affirming today the legal admissibility of Russia’s claims, the ICJ has signalled its readiness to assess the full scope of crimes committed by the Kiev regime and its accomplices.

The West’s hopes of wielding “legal weaponry” against Russia have once again been dashed. On the contrary, this weapon is now turned against Kiev’s “plaintiffs.” Against this backdrop, Western support for Kiev has already begun to dwindle sharply: a third of the states previously aligned with Ukraine in this process have hastily withdrawn, evidently recognising the futility – and even the risks – of continued participation. Other Western nations should likewise cease shielding this criminal neo-Nazi regime and exerting pressure on the ICJ.

The Russian Federation, in upholding international law, maintains that the impartiality and objectivity of international judicial bodies are critical to the peaceful resolution of international disputes. Moscow hopes that the UN International Court of Justice will continue to demonstrate balance and impartiality in its future judgments.

• Col Doug Macgregor: Russia is Not Weakened, Trump Must Tell NATO to STOP:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=j9zR_UQsytY

The discussion argues that Western leaders have made repeated threats toward Russia, and that at some point those threats require action to maintain credibility—but acting now would be extremely dangerous because Russia is militarily strong, politically unified, and fully mobilized. According to the speakers, Western governments misunderstand Russia’s restraint as weakness.

Putin’s comments emphasize that Russia distinguishes its “special military operation” from a full-scale war, saying Russia can escalate massively if Europe initiates a wider conflict. He warns that if Europe starts a war, Russia will finish it quickly and decisively.

The analysis describes the Western misunderstanding: unlike Western political rhetoric, Putin’s statements are deliberate, coordinated with his government, and should be taken seriously. Russia’s military capability, readiness, and unity mean that Western assumptions about Russian limits are flawed.

The speakers argue that Russia’s slow approach in Ukraine is intentional—focused on destroying Ukrainian military capacity, not grabbing territory. They predict further Russian advances but emphasize that Russia does not want to occupy western Ukraine.

They also claim Ukraine’s political class is corrupt and collapsing, while Western publics have been misled about the war’s goals and trajectory. Support for continuing the war is described as eroding, especially in Germany, where nationalist parties calling for renewed relations with Russia are gaining strength.

Regarding Trump’s “peace plan,” the speakers portray it as largely symbolic—something his envoys Kushner and Witte are trying to sell to secure political credit for Trump, while Russia sees it as containing “poison pills” and therefore unworkable.

Finally, the European leadership (e.g., Macron, Scholz, Rutte) is portrayed as desperate to prolong the conflict because a collapse of Ukraine or a sudden peace would destroy their political credibility. Rutte’s comments about Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea forming a menacing bloc are described as part of building a new narrative to justify continued confrontation.

Overall, the passage depicts Western leaders as prolonging a doomed strategy, Russia as ascendant, and a negotiated settlement as being obstructed by Ukraine and Europe—not Russia.

• "More than 2 MILLION are now dead in Ukraine" and Zelensky is responsible for it:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=saZ1BU8_OGQ

The latest numbers we're hearing at Redacted from our sources have Ukrainian dead over 2 million now. So You don't hold any cards here except the cards NATO's puppet masters give you. And your CIA handlers. But okay, so you're rejecting what appears to be the most likely method to end finally end this proxy war.

[kfm27917]

Meanwhile, back in the Ukraine, Soviet-era manuals and rule-books were replaced with "NATO standards" and training, which proved to be far less effective than the Soviet ones. NATO members learned the methodology from the Americans, who, in turn, learned it from former Nazi German officers, who, if you will recall, lost the war to the Red Army. NATO, and now the Ukrainian army, are thus reliant on military doctrines, organizational principles and operational practices of the losing side. NATO, which is mostly just the Americans, was able to achieve results (though never quite an outright victory) against such weak adversaries as Serbia and Libya, but its favorite technique — indiscriminate bombing campaigns —would have inevitably escalated to a nuclear exchange if it were ever attempted against Russia.

A truly ridiculous situation has emerged: the Ukrainians, role-playing as Nazi Germans, with NATO in a support role, is involved in a high-intensity conventional conflict with Russia, role-playing as the Red Army, and achieving the same end result. Since this implies extreme stupidity, a quick look at national IQ ratings seems warranted: Russia's average is 103; the Ukraine's is at 95.4 — the lowest in Europe. The US does a bit better with an IQ of 99.7 — still very far behind China's 107. "Dumb and Dumber go to War" would have made a good movie title, if it weren't for all the blood and the gore and the Ukrainian military graves stretching beyond the horizon.

From all of this, it is possible to draw the conclusion that Russia is, slowly but surely, succeeding in the stated goals of its SMO by winning a war of attrition against both the Ukraine (in manpower) and NATO (in weapons). With the Ukrainian ultranationalists mostly dead and the Ukrainian and NATO armories depleted, and more and more Ukrainian soldiers refusing to fight, the military operation will inevitably draw to a close, the Kiev regime will fall, the Russian-speaking majority in the Ukraine will reassert its rights and, if all goes well, there will be a return to constitutional order which was destroyed during the US-organized putsch in the spring of 2014.

Will Russia then go on to more Special Military Operations to denazify, demilitarize and defend the human rights of large Russian minorities living in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Moldova? Russia is treating the plight of the Russians still living in these parts as a humanitarian rather than a military issue, easily absorbing the influx. For instance, there is half a million Moldovans now living in Russia while the total population of Moldova is now just two million and falling fast. The picture for the Baltics is similar, although the numbers are too small to matter.

But each of these semi-defunct former Soviet Socialist Republics, lovingly crafted out of bits of the Russian Empire and nurtured by internationalist-minded Bolsheviks to Russia's lasting regret and chagrin, also has certain strategic considerations for Russia: Estonia, together with Finland, almost blocks the Gulf of Finland which provides critically important sea access to St. Petersburg and the nearby ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk with a total cargo volume of around 170 million tonnes per year. Lithuania provides a land bridge to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. Moldova has a separatist region of Transnistria, inhabited by half a million actual Russian passport-holders whom the Russian state is theoretically sworn to defend.

But which of these issues would Russia ever attempt to solve by going on attack? A less than completely insane, deranged Europe should be able to resolve such issues amicably and without recourse to violence. We can only hope that a resounding NATO defeat in the Ukraine will cool the NATO-heads who are currently seeking to escalate the conflict.

If a military conflict involving the four countries mentioned above were to erupt, it is important to keep in mind that they would have to be defended by troops from elsewhere in Europe. All four of these countries are largely emptied of young people: since there are hardly any jobs there, young people leave as soon as they can, leaving behind countries sparsely populated by increasingly destitute pensioners, with more and more empty school buildings being converted to care for the old who can no longer take care of themselves.

In turn, how likely is it that American, British, French, German, Spanish and Italian youths can be drafted and sent to die in a futile conflict to defend Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania (NATO and EU members) and Moldova (not)? If just 16% of German men say that they would definitely be willing to take up arms to defend their own Fatherland, then what percentage of them would be willing to go and die for Lithuania? We can only guess, so let us guess 2% — and these would be the mentally defective, suicidal ones! We can also hope that a less than utterly insane German society would generate considerable political pressure to force their government to just give the Russians whatever they want, which isn't much: open and secure highway and railway corridors to Kaliningrad and widened sea lanes and air corridors through the Gulf of Finland is all it would take to resolve the issue amicably as far as the Baltics.

Currently, however, there seems to be no interest in the West in resolving issues amicably, instead concentrating on staging provocations. On September 10, some number of drones entered Polish airspace. These were subsequently discovered to be Russian-made Gerbera drones —decoys which lack an explosive charge and are used to confuse and to deplete air defense systems. Based on their limited range, they were launched from Kiev regime-held territory. They overflew part of Belarus, where some of them were shot down, while others continued on to Poland. Belarus authorities issued a warning to their Polish counterparts: "Incoming, watch out!"

Polish and other NATO forces scrambled jets — but jets are useless for shooting down such small and slow-moving targets. The drones were Russian-made but there is no evidence that they were Russian-operated. Such drones regularly fall out of the skies in the Ukraine and can be patched up, refueled, reprogrammed and sent on. It is possible that the Russians were behind the provocation if their goal was to demonstrate that NATO is defenseless against even such primitive drones, in which case they did prove their point, but it is far more likely that it was the Kiev regime trying to keep the "Russian aggression" narrative alive.

Such plausibly deniable demonstrations do seem to take place. For example, there was the Chinese weather balloon which overflew continental United States from January 28 to February 4, 2023. Its flight path was a beautiful arc covering Alaska, Western Canada and then the contiguous United States from Washington State to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It flew too high for the US Air Force to shoot down but it gradually lost altitude and was shot down by an F-22 Raptor at an altitude of 18,000 meters. It was either an accident (the balloon blown off-course) or a demonstration of the Americans' inability to defend their airspace against... weather balloons!

Just 10 days after the episode featuring unarmed Russian drones flying unhindered over Poland, there followed a scandal with Russian jets supposedly violating Estonian airspace. According to the Estonians, three Russian Mig-31 jets entered Estonian airspace "without permission and remained there for a total of 12 minutes." The jets were on their way from Leningrad region to Kaliningrad region, following the air corridors over the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic which are frequented by air traffic between these two Russian regions and which circumvent the three Baltic countries. In particular, the international free passage corridor between Finland and Estonia is 370km long but only 11km wide and it is theoretically possible that the Migs strayed over the southern, Estonian edge of it. In any case, Mig-31s cruise at 2,500km/h, or 41km/min, and in 12 minutes would have covered 491km, overshooting the mark by some 122km. Essentially, there isn't enough Estonian territory for them to have taken that long.

The Estonian side failed to present any evidence of such a transgression while Russia's defense ministry said that the jets were on a "scheduled flight... in strict compliance with international airspace regulations and did not violate the borders of other states, as confirmed by objective monitoring". That should have been the end of it, but noooo! Was it worth scrambling jets and calling an emergency NATO conference in accordance with Chapter 4 of the NATO charter over such a nonevent, be it intentional, accidental or fictional? Only if the intent was to create much ado about nothing and a tempest in a teacup.

Zooming out from the particulars, such provocations are necessary: the transition from the now defunct Green New Deal to the new Brown New Deal — European militarism, that is — requires an enemy. There are just no other candidates: North Korea is too hot to touch; Iran, if sufficiently provoked, would destroy Israel; and China already has the European and the American economies in a submission hold and will choke out the round-eyes if they don't start to behave. The only safe enemy is Russia, but that is also a problem: Russia is not sufficiently threatening. It is therefore necessary to stage provocations in order to keep the myth of "Russian aggression" alive in the minds of Europeans, in the hopes of convincing, and, failing that, coercing them into accepting high levels of defense expenditure, just as they accepted high levels of spending on "green" energy — for the European ruling elites to pocket.

However, it turns out that halfhearted provocations are hardly enough to keep the myth of "Russian aggression" alive, never mind making it sufficiently compelling to motivate scores of true believers to queue up at recruitment centers, eager to die battling aggressive Russians Ukrainian style. Luckily, barely believable provocations are not all that the collective West has to offer: there are also efforts being made at constructing a compelling image of the enemy. These efforts are quite extensive and intricate and have been in the works for centuries. They include a fanciful rewriting of history that consigns to oblivion all the episodes that fail to portray Russia in an entirely negative light. We will take them up next.

Debaser🇨🇭🇩🇪

Translated from German
Today, a civilian ship has once again been attacked by Ukrainian unmanned boats.

Three of these drones struck the tanker "Dashan," which sails under the flag of Gambia. The ship is under sanctions as part of the so-called "Russian shadow fleet."

A group of drones launched overnight from the Odessa region and moved at a good distance from Crimea toward the eastern part of the Black Sea.

The extent of the damage is still unclear. However, there is one very characteristic detail: During the attack on the tanker, a British reconnaissance aircraft of the type RC-135W was in operation in the western Black Sea.

Immediately after the attack, the aircraft headed toward the tanker's location. It is currently patrolling parallel to Sudak on the southern coast of Crimea.

Why it can fly around there undisturbed is, of course, also a question. And as long as Russia does nothing about it here, it's only a matter of time before the next ship is attacked.
