Russia rejects ICJ preventive measures and refuses to suspend military operations

Moscow, 17 March Moscow rejects preventive measures announced by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) the day before, which requires Russia to immediately stop military operations in Ukraine, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said today. “No, you are not allowed to attend this decision.International courts appeal concepts such as agreement between the parties. There cannot be an agreement here, something that cannot be considered in this case.” He said. The United Nations High Court agreed to Kiev on Wednesday with two votes of 13 votes and decided to demand that Moscow “immediately suspend military operations” in Ukraine, court president Joan Donoghue said he had read the court order publicly. The implementation of the court order depends on the will of the state and, in the end, the UN Security Council, which Russia has the right to veto. The ICJ unanimously urged both Ukraine and Russia to “refrain from any action that could aggravate or extend the dispute before the court.” Chief moss/jack
