Ukrainian representatives Oksana Zolotaryova (L) and Anton Korynevych arrive to attend a session of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in a case of Ukraine against Russia, in The Hague on February 2, 2024. – The United Nations’ top court will decide on February 2, 2024, whether it has jurisdiction to rule in a case brought by Ukraine over Russia’s brutal 2022 invasion, with Kyiv urging reparations. Two days into the invasion, Ukraine filed a suit at the ICJ, “emphatically denying” that pro-Russian people in eastern Ukraine had been “subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime” according to Moscow, and arguing that Russia’s use of “genocide” as a pretext went against the 1948 UN Genocide Convention.
