The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed disappointment with the decision of the International Court of Justice to involve third countries in the case of Ukraine's claim of genocide. The ministry focused on the fact that all states admitted as third parties take a pro-Ukrainian position and are trying to put pressure on the Court.

Earlier, the official representative of the President of the UN General Assembly, Polina Kubiak, responded to the call of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to exclude Russia from the UN.
