As RIA Novosti reports, "the speech of the Ukrainian side disappointed" Kuzmin and he was ready for a more professional presentation and a solid evidence base.
"They were not able to provide convincing evidence," he stressed.
According to Kuzmin, since these are hearings on the merits of the case, at this stage it is expected that the plaintiff will present convincing evidence of the allegations on which he relies.
Earlier, Russian representatives in court Gennady Kuzmin, Alexander Shulgin and Maria Zabolotskaya said that by filing a lawsuit against Russia at the International Court of Justice, Ukraine is trying to divert attention from its long-term practice of suppressing the rights of millions of Russians and national minorities.
