Talk:Ukraine v. Russian Federation (2022)

Ukraine Military killing their own citizens

I've watched boots on the ground journalist over in the war interviewing the people and all I've watched so far was everyone of them saying they're being bombed by Ukraine Military. The schools, hospitals, and homes. I saw Russian Military giving aide to the Ukrainian citizens and helping to export them to safer shelters. So explain why there's a claim the Russian military is committing genocide while the Ukrainian soldiers were cooking up dead people in outdoor cooking pots. To eat! These soldiers are satanist/pagan or something alike, because he also filmed where the soldiers left behind items and pentagrams that were very suggestive for sacrificial rituals. Also with Nazi symbolism. So don't believe everything you see that's suppose to be editable that's locked for no editing or first hand information with more evidence available. Js. I don't agree to any of the terms. That's why i clicked on it below. 75.139.46.149 (talk) 20:24, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Article is missing recent developments

I'm not able to edit this article, but would be great if someone could update it with recent developments. I'm mainly thinking of the ICJ's February 2024 decision following Ukraine's win on provisional measures:

Ukraine’s big win on provisional measures had led some to predict a big win for Ukraine at following stages but in the decision last week on preliminary objections, the Court failed to deliver. It decided that Ukraine’s clever approach, which had won the support of 32 intervening states, was too clever by half: It upheld Russia’s objection that Russia’s uses of force based on allegations of genocide (even if false), fell outside the scope of the Genocide Convention and thus outside the Court’s jurisdiction. But it did not kill the case entirely. It decided that it will decide whether there is any “credible evidence that Ukraine is responsible for committing genocide in violation of the Genocide Convention in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine.” This is something of a pyric victory for Ukraine, as it means that Ukraine’s conduct, not Russia’s, will be the focus of the arguments on the merits. Even so, it does allow the Court to review a key justification Russia has offered for its military campaign.  The leader of Ukraine’s legal team, Anton Korynevych, told reporters that: “It is important that the court will decide on the issue that Ukraine is not responsible for some mythical genocide, which the Russian Federation falsely alleged that Ukraine has committed.”

Russia’s violations of the Court’s provisional measures order might also leave Ukraine with some room to maneuver: The Court recognized that Russia “took the allegedly unlawful measures in and against Ukraine with a stated purpose of preventing and punishing genocide allegedly committed in the Donbas region” and that this gives Ukraine a “legal interest … under the Genocide Convention to resolve the dispute” over whether it committed genocide. Ukraine, then, might attempt to raise the issue of Russia’s unlawful invasion at the merits stage by raising Russia’s violation of the provisional measures, though whether the Court will accept the invitation to opine on an issue it has previously declined to reach for other jurisdictional reasons is far from clear. It is little surprise, then, that the general mood of Ukrainian supporters has been decidedly downcast.
