Ukraine (bbabo.net), - Poland submitted to the International Court of Justice an application to join the procedures initiated by Ukraine against the Russian Federation in a dispute over charges relating to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. This was announced on Thursday on Twitter by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic.

“Today Poland filed a declaration with the International Court of Justice to join the case of Ukraine against Russia on violation of the Genocide Convention. Thus, for the first time in post-war history, Poland has joined the suit in the International Court of Justice,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

On February 26, Ukraine filed a lawsuit against the Russian Federation with the main judicial body of the UN regarding the interpretation, application and implementation of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Kyiv denies that a genocide took place in the Donbass, which served as one of the reasons for Russia's recognition of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics and the conduct of a special military operation. Ukraine requires the court to recognize that the Russian Federation has no legal grounds for actions in and against Ukraine, and to introduce interim measures for the duration of the proceedings in order to prevent the conflict from escalating.

On March 16, the International Court of Justice demanded that Russia immediately suspend the implementation of the NWO in Ukraine, which began on February 24. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow cannot take into account the decision of the court, and Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stressed that Ukraine, having filed a lawsuit regarding the convention on the prevention of genocide, “clearly abused the jurisdiction” of the court.
