This was reported on the official website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

“In its memorandum, our country presented factual and legal evidence of the failure of the Ukrainian accusations and insists that the court reject the plaintiff's claims under both conventions,” the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.

The International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism (ICFTC) refutes Kiev's claims about the alleged "terrorist nature" of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics.

The document also notes that Ukraine needs such rhetoric to “justify punitive measures” against Donbass, and to bring fabricated charges against Russia under the jurisdiction of the UN ICJ.

Under the auspices of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), Russia refutes insinuations about discrimination against Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars living in Crimea.

It is reported that in the near future the court will decide on the further schedule of the process.

The hearing in The Hague is part of a process initiated by Kiev in January 2017.

In June 2018, the Ukrainian side submitted the expanded memorandum to the UN court. The 17,500-page document claims that Russia has violated two international conventions.
