Ukraine could not convincingly present evidence on its 2017 lawsuit against Russia on Donbass and Crimea at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Russian representatives in court Gennady Kuzmin, Alexander Shulgin and Maria Zabolotskaya said that Ukraine is trying to divert attention from its long-term practice of suppressing the rights of millions of Russians and national minorities.
"They were not able to provide convincing evidence," he stressed. "The speech of the Ukrainian side disappointed," he said.
