International Court Orders Russia To Suspend Invasion of Ukraine
Newsy
On Wednesday, the International Court of Justice found Russia's claims of genocide to be false and ordered it to stop attacking Ukraine.
While the U.S. warned that Russia could use a false flag operation to invade Ukraine, Vladimir Putin invoked a legal term to justify invasion baselessly saying the Kyiv regime was committing genocide on people in the East and that Russia would save them.
"There is absolutely no truth to Putin's claim that Ukraine is perpetrating genocide against Russian speaking peoples in the Donbass region of Ukraine. This is a misappropriation and a misuse of the term genocide for political purposes," International Association of Genocide Scholars President Melanie O'Brien said.
Two days into the war, off of the battlefield Ukraine turned to a courtroom that has jurisdiction over disputes on genocide. On Wednesday, the International Court of Justice found Russia's claims to be false and ordered it to stop attacking Ukraine.
