More than 30 of Kyiv’s Western allies will have the chance to make statements from Wednesday.
The International Court of Justice is also presiding over Ukraine’s allegations that Russia backed separatist rebels for years before the invasion.
When Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion on Feb 24 last year, part of his reasoning was that pro-Russian people in eastern Ukraine had been “subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime”. Sitting only metres away from the Ukrainian delegation, Kuzmin said, “As to expressions of concerns regarding the threat of genocide, they were unsurprising considering the policies of Kyiv regime, which were firmly entrenched in the history, doctrines, and practices of Nazism.”
Kuzmin urged the court to throw out the case, arguing that the UN Genocide Convention is about the “prevention and punishment” of genocide, neither of which apply to Ukraine’s case. In March 2022, the ICJ sided with Ukraine, ordering Russia to “immediately suspend” its military action.
